Conference Agenda

On behalf of the conference organizers SMD and the law firm Arzinger we kindly invite you to participate in the conference on investment in Ukraine’s healthcare sector. The conference is a unique and unprecedented platform established for communication between strategic and financial investors and representatives of major stakeholders in the healthcare system, ranging from local and international producers of medicinal products and medical devices to distribution and services industry.

The Ukrainian healthcare market has seen no massive foreign investment so far and many experts predict the industry’s massive business consolidation and foreign investments inflow in the near future. Local players have been holding serious negotiations on strengthening their own market positions through the consolidation of businesses, debt financing or equity on the stock exchange, or through private placement of shares. Over the last few years international industry representatives have been carefully following Ukraine as a huge and attractive investment market, weighing the possibility for production localization in Ukraine or the acquisition of local businesses.

For the first time authorities representatives, investment companies, pharmaceutical businesses and private medicine representatives will come together in one venue to discuss the situation in the industry.

During the day, the conference participants will hear presentations and participate in discussions that will focus on the current economic situation in the country, the prospects for healthcare reform and opportunities of public-private partnership, the development of pharmaceutical business and private medical services, successful investment projects analysis, and most importantly the expediency and possible schemes of attracting investment capital for business development.

We managed to bring together a unique composition of the speakers and participants who will share both international and local experience in the related transactions, will give their vision of the market situation and provide their assessment of the prospects and attractiveness of individual business sectors.

To date, the following companies confirmed their participation as speakers and delegates: Linda-Farm, MedFarmHolding, TAS-Pharma, Pharmastor, Medical Academy Pharmacies, EuroApteka, BaDM, Advent International, Dragon Capital, Horizon Capital, Euro Ventures, Vienna Stock Exchange, BC_Pharma, Kusum, GSK, Nycomed, Orion, Sanofi-Aventis, Stada, Woerwag, Sopharma, Oberig, Synevo, Dila, Kaplya Rosy and many others.
