UkraineInvest and the Ambassador of Austria Discuss Economic Cooperation and Infrastructure Investment

The UkraineInvest team, led by Acting Executive Director Oleksandr Melnychenko, held a meeting with H.E. Mr. Robert Martin Müller, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Austria to Ukraine.

The parties discussed the potential for increased Austrian investment in the Ukrainian economy, particularly in the areas of energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare.

During the meeting, the Austrian Ambassador emphasized that even amid full-scale war, supporting and developing cooperation between Austria and Ukraine remains of critical importance. He noted that 95% of Austrian companies operating in Ukraine continue their activities, demonstrating their commitment and confidence in the country’s economic potential.

“Austrian businesses continue operating in Ukraine despite the war, and we aim to further strengthen our cooperation in attracting investment for Ukraine’s recovery,” stated H.E. Robert Martin Müller.

Austria is already making a significant contribution to Ukraine’s infrastructure development. In particular, Austria has established a special fund of up to EUR 500 million to support Austrian exporters. This fund is being used to implement projects for the reconstruction of roads, bridges, and railway infrastructure. These efforts are intended not only to improve Ukraine’s logistics capacity but also to support its integration into European transport corridors.

Oleksandr Melnychenko expressed his gratitude for the creation of this fund and proposed that part of its resources be directed toward supporting Austrian companies planning to invest significant amounts (from EUR 12 million) in priority sectors defined by the Law of Ukraine “On State Support for Investment Projects with Significant Investments.” These sectors include biogas and biomethane production, transportation, warehousing, logistics, healthcare, and others.

UkraineInvest, in turn, will provide comprehensive support to Austrian investors throughout the entire implementation process of their investment projects.

Joint efforts between Ukraine and Austria will help to strengthen bilateral economic relations and contribute to Ukraine’s sustainable development.

One of the most powerful ways to communicate that foreign businesses can and do operate successfully in Ukraine is through the voices that matter most to potential investors – those of other businesses.
