PANEL I
Connecting Ukraine to Emerging Market Portfolios
Ukraine and its frontline regions offer industrial capacity and business potential comparable to other dynamic emerging markets, yet much of this remains untapped as the risks associated with the ongoing war create distance between Ukraine and international capital. Based on practical, on-the-ground experience, this panel will explore how venture capital and emerging market funds can engage with Ukraine today, where the strongest investment cases are emerging, what derisking mechanisms can unlock private capital, and what is needed to bring Ukraine closer to global investment portfolios.

Accelerating Ukraine’s European Integration
Ukraine’s path toward further EU integration is reshaping its political and economic relationship with Europe.
