Overview:
The “REBIRTH OF UKRAINE” Trade Mission in Madrid is designed and will be conducted to unite Spanish and Ukrainian businesses, municipalities, venture investors, impact investors, donors, financial institutions, angel and corporate investors, academia, and government organizations. The goal is to support Ukraine’s reconstruction and economic recovery while establishing long-term, mutually beneficial relationships with international partners.
The trade mission will take place from February 25-28 in Madrid, Spain. Its primary objective is to discuss and implement specific steps toward Ukraine’s economic future and the prosperity of its people through Spanish-Ukrainian partnerships.
This will be achieved by facilitating connections between Spanish and Ukrainian participants and ensuring concrete outcomes through ongoing collaboration, both now and in the post-war period.
