Kyiv Region Presented Investment Opportunities at the Forum in Bucharest

On 22–23 October, the international forum Rebuilding Ukraine: Security, Opportunities, Investment took place in Bucharest, bringing together participants to discuss Ukraine’s recovery, investment opportunities and international cooperation. The event was organised by the New Strategy Center and the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The forum provided an opportunity to present the investment potential and development priorities of Kyiv Region, highlight the needs of local communities and explore opportunities for cooperation with international partners. For the region, recovery means not only rebuilding infrastructure damaged by the war, but also creating favourable conditions for business development, attracting new industries and generating jobs.

Kyiv Region was represented at the forum by Nazarii Volianskyi, Director of the Kyiv Regional Development Agency. On 22 October, he took part in a panel discussion entitled From Recovery to Growth: Investment Opportunities in Kyiv Region, which focused on the region’s development priorities and prospects for attracting foreign investment.

Key areas requiring investment include energy, industry and infrastructure. These priorities involve developing energy projects to ensure a reliable supply of electricity and heat to local communities, supporting industrial enterprises and modernising infrastructure across the region.

Preparing concrete projects that local communities can present to potential investors is also essential to attracting investment. The Kyiv Regional Development Agency works with communities to develop their initiatives and supports them throughout different stages of engagement with potential investors.

A dedicated Kyiv Region stand was another part of the region’s presentation at the forum, showcasing priority projects proposed by local communities. It gave international participants an opportunity to learn more about the region’s needs and identify areas where investment could support local development.

Participation in the forum provided an opportunity to showcase Kyiv Region to an international audience, highlight the needs of local communities and establish contacts with potential partners. Events like this help bring regional projects to the attention of international stakeholders and explore opportunities for their further development.

The Kyiv Regional Development Agency would like to thank the New Strategy Center and the Romanian Chamber of Commerce and Industry for organising the forum and providing an opportunity to present the region. Building international partnerships and attracting foreign investment remain important elements of Kyiv Region’s recovery and long-term economic growth.
