Odesa hosted the first-ever Odesa Investment Congress. The event brought together more than 300 developers, investors, architects, manufacturers, and government representatives to discuss the future of Ukrainian cities and the reconstruction economy.
EFI Group founder Igor Liski joined the panel discussion “Construction Materials for Ukraine’s Reconstruction: Scaling Production and Meeting Market Demand,” where participants discussed the outlook for Ukrainian industry, production localization, and the sector’s readiness to meet the demands of large-scale national reconstruction.
During the discussion, participants paid particular attention to the need to expand domestic production capacity, develop new industrial projects, and attract investment into the production of strategically important construction materials.
For Ukraine, reconstruction is not only a challenge but also an opportunity to build a modern industrial base and cover a significant share of market demand with Ukrainian-made products.
Participants of the Odesa Investment Congress worked simultaneously across two thematic halls: “City Development” and Urban Design. Key topics of the event included the region’s investment appeal, medical development and wellness, cultural heritage preservation, energy independence, and infrastructure recovery.
