Introduction

The Ukrainian Investment Roadshow is the long-standing and popular platform for Ukraine’s leading corporates and top officials to come together and meet with the most influential international emerging markets fund managers, investment bankers and advisors and a wide range of stakeholders from the financial community, not to mention a wide range of present and potential strategic investors.

Clearly the content and messages have evolved following russia’s barbaric and inexplicable invasion of Ukraine. However stakeholders have emphasised the importance of the Roadshow taking place in order to facilitate the ongoing dialogue between all parties and for the officials and corporates to provide an update to the markets on their activities, priorities and the resilience of the business community and the wider economy.

Just some of the critical issues to be covered are:

  • Ukraine’s macroeconomic performance and initiatives by the government and its partners to achieve resilience and stability and prepare for renewed growth
  • Facilitating dialogue between the sovereign, corporate Ukraine and the investor community to ensure ongoing sustainable relationships
  • Identifying long-term opportunities to invest in Ukraine’s redevelopment and reconstruction
  • Case studies of the resilience of leading Ukrainian corporates on how they have adapted their business processes and operations

Do take this opportunity to hear from and meet Ukraine’s leading corporates and economic policy-makers and to join the dialogue on how the Emerging Markets investor community can participate in the recovery of the Ukrainian economy and support the resilience of its business community.

The registration fee has been froze for the 7th year in a row and Ukrainian companies, whose activities and revenue have been impacted by the invasion, are encouraged to contact us directly and we will extend to them the best possible discounts to enable their participation.
