VIII South Ukrainian Forum
More information
The Ukrainian Bar Association invites you to the VIII South Ukrainian Forum. This year, we are gathering in the country's key logistics and trade hub for a substantive discussion about what is already working for business in infrastructure, logistics, export and import, — and what tools should be used today to act confidently now and be ready for post-war recovery.
Date: September 12, 2025.
Venue: Premier Hotel Odesa, 32 Akademichna St., Odesa.
The program includes clear answers to key business questions:
- Where to find funding for infrastructure projects: grants, loans, international aid — what works in reality, not just on paper?
- What's new in government support for business — and how to get real money?
- How to adapt logistics to new routes and geopolitics when traditional chains no longer work?
- What barriers are currently hindering exports and imports the most — and who can really help remove them?
- Is it worth waiting for Western companies to modernise ports, roads and railways — and how can we prepare for this?
- How can businesses operate under the pressure of mobilisation restrictions, customs barriers and problems with booking employees?
Participants in the forum will include representatives of government agencies, local authorities, international financial organizations, donor programs, banks, insurance companies, investment funds, as well as representatives of businesses in the fields of infrastructure, logistics, port transshipment, agricultural exports, trading, transportation, and storage.
