Ukraine

EastCham is preparing for Ukraine’s reconstruction together with businesses.

We support the Ukraine’s vision to rebuild the country to be better and greener than it was before the war. This means significant needs and investments, for example, in industrial modernization and energy efficiency. Improving security – from energy networks to civil protection – is essential.

Preparing for Ukraine’s reconstruction involves identifying Ukraine’s needs and the Finnish offering. EastCham and the Confederation of Finnish Industries (EK) have a joint office in Kyiv to assist Finnish and Ukrainian companies to meet each other. We provide advisory services, market research, and partner search directly on the ground for our member companies.

We offer concrete opportunities for Finnish businesses to participate in the reconstruction efforts in Ukraine.

If you are interested in cooperation with Finnish companies in Ukraine, please contact Head of EastCham in Kyiv, Senior Business Advisor Olena Kutsai. Kutsai supports EastCham and EK member companies in questions related to the Ukrainian market and reconstruction.

The market analysts, Olena Romashko and Viktoria Mianovska, are responsible for market research and business partner evaluation at the Kyiv office.

💡 The services of Kyiv office:

  • Market Research
  • Contact Evaluation and Meeting Facilitation
  • Free Business Advisory for member companies
