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 all stakeholders from the financial community, not to mention a wide range of present and potential strategic investors.

The Roadshow’s content and messages have evolved since February 2022. 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 outlook and initiatives by the government and its partners to ensure resilience and stability and build for renewed growth
  • Facilitating dialogue between the sovereign, corporate Ukraine and the investor community to ensure ongoing sustainable relationships
  • Progress report on the development of war risk insurance mechanisms to stimulate and protect investment flows
  • How Ukraine’s leading corporates and financial institutions, both private and state-owned, are preparing for a return to the international debt and equity capital markets. A focus on ESG reporting and corporate governance
  • Spotlight on important industry sectors to drive the recovery process – infrastructure, healthcare, defence and miltech, agribusiness, renewables, critical & rare minerals, retail, construction materials
  • Opportunities to scale up and significantly grow the Private Equity and Venture Capital ecosystems to provide the much-needed financing for high growth sectors

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 bravery and innovation of its business community.

Each year the Ukrainian Investment Roadshow in London attracts 250 attendees from more than 15 countries.
