On October 16, the 11th Kyiv International Economic Forum will take place, featuring a panel discussion titled “Global Capital for Ukrainian Business.”
Global competition for investment is intensifying — only large-scale and well-prepared projects receive substantial funding. In Ukraine, however, war-related risks, a shortage of long-term financial resources, and a lack of truly bankable ideas continue to limit the inflow of private capital, despite the active involvement of international financial institutions (IFIs).
The discussion will focus on what requirements IFIs set for businesses, how to structure deals while managing risks, and which sectors are currently seeing the most investment activity. Case studies of Ukrainian companies that have already attracted international capital will also be presented.
Moderator: Igor Liski, Founder of the investment company EFI Group.
Speakers:
Edward Mermelstein, Commissioner for International Affairs, City of New York (2022–2025)
Danylo Hetmantsev, Chairman of the Finance, Tax, and Customs Policy Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine
Iryna Kravchenko, Deputy Head of the EBRD in Ukraine
Teymur Taghiyev, Chief of Staff, NEQSOL Holding
Vasyl Danylyak, CEO, OKKO Group
Join the discussion on how Ukrainian business can gain access to global capital.
