VIII South Ukrainian Forum

The Ukrainian Bar Association invites you to the VIII South Ukrainian Forum. This year, we are gathering in the country’s key logistics and trade hub for a substantive conversation about what is already working for businesses in infrastructure, logistics, export and import – and what tools should be used today to act confidently now and be ready for post-war recovery.

The program includes clear answers to key business inquiries:

• Where to look for financing for infrastructure projects: grants, loans, international aid – what works in reality, not on paper?
• What’s new in state support for business – and how to get real money?
• How to adapt logistics to new routes and geopolitics if traditional chains are no longer working?
• What barriers are currently the biggest hindrances to exports and imports – and who can really help remove them?
• Should we wait for Western companies to modernize ports, roads, and railways — and how to prepare for it?
• How can businesses work under the pressure of mobilization restrictions, customs barriers, and problems with booking employees?

Among the forum participants are representatives of government agencies, local authorities, international financial organizations, donor programs, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, as well as business representatives in the fields of infrastructure, logistics, port transshipment, agricultural export, trading, transportation, and storage.
