The EU-Ukraine Investment Bridge: a meeting place for Ukrainian and international investors
The Road to Reconstruction Begins Now.
From the beginning, we have been guided by the conviction that the reconstruction of Ukraine must happen now – we cannot wait until the war is over. We believe that Ukraine's strong and stable business structures are the foundation of its reconstruction, and that supporting the Ukrainian economy is an integral part of the struggle for its independence. That is why we want to create a space for an open conversation about Ukraine's future in the context of investment, financing and international cooperation. This is the idea behind the “Ukrainian Private Equity & Venture Capital Summit”.
It is a joint initiative of the Ukrainian and Polish business communities, bringing together equity investors as well as selected financial sector organisations from Ukraine and the European Union. The leitmotif of the event is the reconstruction of Ukraine and its economic potential, while the immediate goal is to exchange experiences and discuss possible courses of action and the potential for the development of business relations between Ukraine and Europe.
