The REBIRTH OF UKRAINE trade mission is a unique joint project that combines the efforts of a powerful alliance of partners. Our main goal is to demonstrate Ukraine’s economic potential to the world through real investment projects and ready-made proposals.
This is not just about presentations or talks. It’s about creating a space for an effective dialog between Ukrainian communities, businesses, and international partners.
🌍 What do we want to do?
- To introduce Ukrainian representatives to decision makers, donors and commercial opportunities in the region. We believe that personal acquaintances will accelerate negotiations with potential partners, investors, or suppliers interested in working with Ukraine.
- Provide an opportunity for the Ukrainian delegation to share specific requests, initiatives, and projects, contributing to the fastest possible development of cooperation between both sides in the future.
- To establish systematic communication and effective networking with international stakeholders seeking to support Ukraine’s recovery and work with local leaders in the regions.
- Discover new opportunities for investment in Ukraine’s recovery and development.
- Present innovative projects that can change cities, communities, and industries to the world.
- To establish long-term partnerships based on trust and shared values.
