Economic Unions of Ukraine
What are Economic Unions?
Economic Unions of Ukraine are a new model of inter-municipal cooperation that brings together at least three adjacent communities to create a competitive, balanced economy at the regional level.
Communities that sign an agreement on the establishment of an economic union:
- Develop joint projects
- Optimize the use of local resources
- Become more attractive to foreign investors
- Gain access to a wider range of partnerships, grants, and opportunities
This is not just cooperation – it is the formation of a strong regional ecosystem capable of ensuring sustainable development and the well-being of citizens.
