On May 23, the Southern Ukrainian office of the EBA European Business Association in partnership with the law firm Interlegal will held a Business Talk on one of the most relevant topic for the Country: "Recovery Ukraine. Reconstruction projects in the South of Ukraine", with the purpose to explore what business prospects Ukraine has, notwithstanding the going on war.
Since the beginning of the Russian invasion, Ukrainian business has undergone a number of transformations in order to continue its activity. In particular, the Southern region of Ukraine, being under constant shelling, continues to adapt business processes.
Ukraine has great potential and opportunities for investment and partnerships in agriculture, logistics, energy, construction, services, etc.. The Talk will show these opportunities through the experiences and analysis shared by the speakers. The aim of the meeting is also to give useful information to support business decision making.
