‘Rebuild Ukraine is a powerful platform for investors and communities that will be able to attract foreign business. We have achievements to be proud of. We have many projects co-implemented with SECO, NEFCO, the EBRD, and the World Bank, and we also have many tentative agreements with partners,’ notes Serhii Sukhomlyn, Zhytomyr City Mayor.

A Memorandum was signed between the Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Italy and Ukraine. This will ensure direct communication between business and the Zhytomyr community.

‘We need to start thinking about the transformation of the country now, about the completely new concept of development and integration into the European community,’ emphasizes Serhii Sukhomlyn, Zhytomyr City Mayor.

More than a thousand visitors attended the Forum, and they were willing to contribute to the rebuilding of Ukraine and to start negotiating immediately. They included ambassadors, ministers, bank institutions, national companies, and representatives of small and medium-sized businesses in Europe.
