Ukrainian industry has suffered heavy losses during the years of war. However, the state has made this sector a priority, offering support tools such as cashback programs, risk insurance, and tax incentives. This has led to positive recovery dynamics: new industrial parks are emerging as hubs of production, new factories are being built. Still, these efforts are not enough to compensate for what has been lost.
Industrial companies continue to face shortages of capital, lack of skilled workers, expensive energy resources, and barriers to access foreign markets. At the same time, they show that even under such conditions, it is possible to launch new projects and find growth opportunities.
During this panel, industry leaders will share their experience, insights, and vision of what needs to be done to make industry a true driver of Ukraine’s economic recovery.
