Since the start of the full-scale invasion, UkraineInvest has become the main window for attracting investment

In the last six months alone, we have supported 12 investment projects worth USD 2.1 billion. 

In addition, with the help of UkraineInvest, projects worth EUR 232 million have been submitted to the Ministry of Economy for recognition as significant investments and state support – 1 application has already been recognised as such by the Ministry. This provides for the possibility of concluding a special investment agreement between the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the respective investor, based on the results of which the investor can receive up to 30% of the project compensation. 

This was stated by the Acting Executive Director of UkraineInvest during the panel discussion ‘Investment Climate of the Ukrainian Economy during the War’ at the Invest in Ukraine Congress.

Oleksandr Melnychenko stressed that attracting investment into the economy is a key condition for the country’s reconstruction and development, which is why UkraineInvest is implementing the investor support tools provided by the Law on Significant Investments. 

“Today we can say that Ukraine’s pro-European investment policy is being implemented in concrete investment projects. The state offers a relatively wide ‘investment menu’ to potential investors, both foreign and domestic. Domestic conditions encourage the search for opportunities to produce higher value-added products that are also export competitive. From now on, investors have the opportunity to make sure that the war is not an obstacle to their investment activities and that Ukraine is open for business even in this difficult time,” said Oleksandr Melnychenko.

Among the critical sectors for investment, the Acting Executive Director of UkraineInvest mentioned in particular

  • energy;
  • agro-processing;
  • transport and logistics;
  • infrastructure;
  • mining for further enrichment and/or processing;
  • IT;
  • mechanical engineering. 

The Invest in Ukraine Congress has become an important platform for discussing investment opportunities in Ukraine, exchanging experience and establishing new business contacts.
