Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery represents an unprecedented opportunity, both for Ukraine and for Europe. Newly adopted EU Ukraine Facility is a crucial tool for implementation of the projects in Ukraine.

Join us for an insightful discussion on the opportunities for the Slovenian business to participate in rebuilding projects in Ukraine, as well as to form new partnerships with Ukrainian partners.

The aim of the event is to help companies understand what their opportunities in Ukraine’s reconstruction and recovery are. Attendees will hear the insights from Ukrainian, Slovenian and international experts.
