"One of the key priorities for Ukraine is attracting foreign direct investment, particularly as the basis for the sustainable recovery of Ukraine after the war. USAID supports the Government of Ukraine in mobilizing both private capital and capital from international financial organizations and development agencies," emphasized Natalia Petrova, Project Manager at the USAID Economic Growth Office.

UkraineInvest, the government office for attracting and supporting investments, which provides investor support in accordance with the law "On State Support of Investment Projects with Significant Investments in Ukraine" (the law on "investment nannies"), presented an updated investment guide as well as successful cases of international companies that have been investing in Ukraine for many years.

At separate stands, visitors were introduced to the priority goals of economic growth, ensuring security, and harnessing human potential, as well as the concept of the "green" industrial transition. Ukraine aims to produce "green" steel, aluminum, and fertilizers without the use of coal and natural gas.

The Ministry of Economy of Ukraine's Reform Support Team presented Export Booster, which aims to facilitate the integration of Ukrainian manufacturers into global supply chains and increase Ukrainian exports by developing the capacity of enterprises to enter new markets. In particular, the replacement of Russian and Belarusian goods opens opportunities for Ukrainian producers with a potential annual market value ranging from €7 billion to €25 billion in the EU and the United Kingdom.

In addition, among the presented capital attraction directions are innovations and technologies, including Ukrainian startups and the technological ecosystem, digitization, and opportunities for the development of new technological solutions, IT, and R&D sectors in Ukraine.
