During the Ukraine–Czech Business Forum, Acting Executive Director of UkraineInvest Oleksandr Melnychenko presented key investment facilitation tools to Czech entrepreneurs. The event marked an important milestone in strengthening the partnership between the business communities of both countries.
Among the main services introduced to Czech businesses were the UkraineInvest HelpDesk, which provides up-to-date information on tax, financial, and legal conditions for doing business during martial law, and the Investment Map of Ukraine, an interactive platform showcasing over 180 investment projects with a total potential of more than USD 6 billion.
The forum, organised by the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic and the Czech Chamber of Commerce, and supported by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ukraine, served as a platform for meaningful dialogue and B2B meetings between Ukrainian and Czech companies. Participants discussed cooperation opportunities in energy, IT, transport, engineering, healthcare, and the agro-industrial sector.
UkraineInvest reaffirmed its role as a reliable partner for foreign investors, offering free legal, analytical, and advisory support throughout all stages of investment project implementation. Despite the ongoing war, investment activity in Ukraine remains resilient, with new projects being launched across most of the country.
Special attention during the forum was given to the topic of investment insurance, which plays a crucial role in helping foreign businesses make informed decisions about entering the Ukrainian market.
According to the National Bank of Ukraine, the total volume of foreign direct investment from the Czech Republic in Ukraine stood at USD 219.7 million at the beginning of 2025. Although there was a slight decline in 2024, the trend in previous years reflects steady interest from Czech businesses in the Ukrainian market.
Key areas of potential cooperation include:
Given the Czech Republic’s experience in fostering a favourable investment environment and effectively leveraging European financial instruments, Ukraine is particularly interested in developing joint technical assistance projects and exchanging regulatory best practices.
The Ukraine–Czech Business Forum became another step toward deepening economic cooperation, opening new avenues for partnerships that will contribute to Ukraine’s recovery and long-term economic growth.
