International Invest Summit – a launch point for Ukrainian business to enter Western markets, and for European business to enter Ukraine.
We have brought together over 600 participants – foreign investors and philanthropists, government officials, and representatives of large, medium, and small businesses – who believe in Ukraine’s victory and are working together to create the Ukrainian economic miracle.
On July 4–5, 2025, we will gather in Lviv foreign investors, government officials, and representatives of large, medium, and small businesses who believe in Ukraine’s victory, are developing business here, and are planning new projects.
The purpose of the event: to become the main platform for communication and finding opportunities to invest in Ukraine. We are bringing together investment stakeholders and creating conditions for joint projects and partnerships — between the state, businesses, foreign investors and donors, local authorities, the expert community, and industry associations.
