Introduction
Accelerating Ukraine’s integration into the European vehicle industry’s supply chain
In cooperation with UkrAutoprom, the Ukrainian Motor Vehicle Manufacturers Association
31st October 2017, Leopolis Hall, Lviv
A major inward investment trend has been gathering momentum in Ukraine in recent times, but has largely gone under the radar in terms of attracting the attention of the wider business community.
Leading international automotive component manufacturers, led by Germany, Japan and North America, have been opening production facilities, primarily in Western Ukraine, to serve their global OEM customers whose vehicle plants are located just over the border in the EU.
This is allowing them to take advantage of Ukraine’s competitive wage environment, qualified labour force and the logistical advantages of proximity to the EU with which Ukraine enjoys a Free Trade Agreement.
In addition, Ukrainian’s domestic car, bus and truck manufacturers are closely monitoring the gradual upturn in the economy in anticipation of a positive impact on vehicle sales and demand.
The Ukrainian Automotive Forum will provide you with a unique platform to hear from and meet with all the key stakeholders in the industry, including:
- Senior national and regional government officials who will outline coordinated strategies to support and stimulate investment in the growth of the automotive sector in Ukraine;
- Regional and Country Heads of the major international and domestic component manufacturers, who are expanding their production facilities in Ukraine to serve their OEM clients in the neighbouring EU countries;
- Top executives from Ukraine’s leading vehicle manufacturers, who will outline their companies’ development strategies, including plans to grow production and expand their model ranges and will discuss what is required to facilitate this.
