The U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) and the British Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (BUCC) are co-hosting the Business Forum: “International Development Institutions Supporting Investment and Regional Development in Ukraine: On the Road to the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome.” The Forum will be held in-person on 4 April (Friday) from 15:00 to 19:00 in Kyiv.
The aim of the Forum is to bring together key international financial institutions, G7 development agencies, diplomats, Ukrainian regional leaders, government representatives, and private sector USUBC and BUCC members to discuss financial instruments, investment opportunities, funding mechanisms and procurement strategies essential for Ukraine’s recovery.
The Forum serves as a key milestone leading up to the Ukraine Recovery Conference – URC2025 in Rome, aligning private-sector engagement with broader international efforts for Ukraine’s reconstruction and regional development.
Key Topics:
