A business meeting with representatives of the Finnish delegation of business associations recently took place at the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry / Ukrainian CCI, organised by the Kyiv Regional Development Agency. During the meeting, key issues related to the recovery of Ukraine, construction prospects and cooperation in strategic sectors were discussed. Particular attention was paid to the importance of international support and the personal involvement of foreign investors in the recovery of our country.

The Finnish partners expressed their sincere support for Ukraine. In particular, they highlighted the following key points:

🌀for the effective launch of a business in Ukraine, it is important to become directly familiar with the realities of the local market, taking into account the unique challenges related to the war.

🌀Finnish companies and the government have provided and continue to provide support to Ukraine, in particular in the energy sector, offering important technical assistance.

🌀Finland sees great potential in rebuilding Ukrainian infrastructure and developing key sectors such as energy, IT, logistics and ecology.

🌀in addition, the representatives shared experience in digital technologies and sustainable development that could be useful for Ukraine.

The delegation included representatives of the Confederation of Finnish Industries (Ek.fi) and the East Office of Finnish Industries (Eastoffice.fi): Janne Harjunpää, CEO of the East Office of Finnish Industries, and Petri Vuorio, Director for International Relations at the Confederation of Finnish Industries. The meeting was also joined by representatives of the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Valeriia Zabashta) and the Kyiv Regional State Administration (Mykyta Herashchenko).

The Kyiv Regional Development Agency presented its projects, in particular in the field of energy and public-private partnership (PPP), and invited the Finnish side to take part in the Communities Forum to be held in 2025.

We thank the Finnish delegation for their visit, support and willingness to work together for the recovery of Ukraine!
