Event details
Instead of traditional negotiations through government, Ukrainian entrepreneurs have finally gained direct access to American investors. Yaroslav Romanchuk, a well-known economist, disproved many common myths about investing in Ukraine during his speech at the meeting. He provided clear facts showing that the risks associated with doing business in Ukraine are often exaggerated.
Delegates from the United States shared their advice on attracting investment to Ukraine. They noted that in order to improve the investment climate, it is important to keep up with the global agenda, as corruption is typically not as bad as it is interpreted by the Western media due to the inertia of the Ukrainian authorities in responding to these cases.
According to American investors, Ukrainians also need to change their rhetoric in dealing with the Western world. They recommend talking less about problems and more about opportunities offered by Ukraine. Western society has already started to get tired of the war, so it is essential to emphasize the positive aspects of doing business in Ukraine.
The meeting of the American delegation with Ukrainian entrepreneurs was a significant step towards improving the investment climate in Ukraine. If the recommendations of American investors are implemented, Ukraine can become more attractive for foreign investment.
