16.12.2024 | 10:38 | Section for Public and Mass Media RelationsUkraine's Deputy Minister of Economy, Andrii Teliupa, and Deputy Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Yuko Yasunaga, discussed the progress of a large-scale Ukrainian-Japanese project with a budget of $188 million aimed at the green recovery of Ukraine's industry.
"UNIDO's efforts to promote green industrial recovery in Ukraine open new opportunities for Ukrainian businesses. Through this initiative, our enterprises will gain access to advanced Japanese technologies and innovative solutions. This will enable the modernization of production and enhance the global competitiveness of Ukrainian industry," said Andrii Teliupa.
During the first phase of the project, which ran from June to August 2024, numerous technological proposals from Japanese companies were identified for further feasibility studies. These proposals span areas such as renewable energy, circular economy, agribusiness, water infrastructure, and digital technologies.
"This project reflects UNIDO's commitment to innovation and sustainability through international partnerships. By combining Japanese expertise with Ukraine's industrial potential, we foster technological advancement, capacity building, knowledge exchange, job creation, and investment attraction. These efforts are crucial for laying the groundwork for sustainable industrial recovery and long-term economic growth in Ukraine," emphasized Yuko Yasunaga.
To further the project, the Ministry of Economy conducted a survey among Ukrainian businesses. The results were considered in preparing the latest call for project applications for Japanese companies, which launched on November 28 and will run until January 31, 2025.
The project is implemented with the support of Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. It is part of UNIDO’s 2024-2028 Program for Green Industrial Recovery in Ukraine, focusing on key economic sectors such as renewable energy, industrial decarbonization and green hydrogen development, circular economy and efficient production, digital transformation and enterprise modernization, and the development of the agro-industrial complex.
