The Capital of the European Union Welcomes Kyiv Investment Forum

This year the Forum will focus its discussion on the resilience of Kyiv in light of the horrific war, the ways of rebuilding and strengthening the Kyiv metropolitan area in line with digitization, technological solutions and social economic integration that contributes to the broader public good, faster restoration of Ukraine, sustainable and equitable economic system for further EU integration. The topics of social and technological economic recovery of Ukraine and its capital region will be discussed at an event of such magnitude for the first time.

Top European and Ukrainian government officials, most prominent representatives of public and private sectors will meet to discuss the challenges Kyiv is facing at the moment as well as its post-war recovery within three key areas: resilience, innovation and sustainability.

We need investments and innovation. Together with our partners we must prepare a recovery plan today.” said Vitali Klitschko, Mayor of Kyiv.

There is only one collective response to support Ukraine for as long as it takes. The city of Brussels accepted this unprecedented challenge among the first ones in February 2022 and we will continue to provide help by all means possible to strengthen Ukrainian cities and to make them more resilient.” commented Philippe Close, Mayor of Brussels.
