Civitta Ukraine and EasyBusiness have conducted the first comprehensive study in Ukraine identifying sectors with the highest potential for integration into the EU market —Better Market Connectivity of Ukraine to the EU. The research was carried out under the EU4Business program, co-financed by the European Union and the German Government. The program aims to foster mutually beneficial connections between European and Ukrainian companies, building bridges for long-term economic cooperation.
Key questions we will explore:
- Which Ukrainian sectors hold the most promise for entering the European market?
- What are the EU’s quality standards, certification requirements, and logistics challenges?
- How can we overcome these barriers and turn opportunities into real export deals?
Join the panel discussion: “The Role of Industry Associations and Clusters in Economic Integration into the EU Single Market.”
Panel Participants:
- Andrii Remizov, Director of the Entrepreneurship and Export Promotion Office
- Ralf Lowack, Head of Component, GIZ, ReACT4UA/EU4Business programme
- Dmytro Lyvch, Partner at Civitta Ukraine, CEO of NGO EasyBusiness, Project Expert
- Eduard Fast, Head of International & Local BizDev at Kharkiv IT Cluster
- Bohdan Shapoval, UFood (TBC)
- Olha Batova, CEO of the investment company EFI Group
Take part in practical workshops: “Leveraging the Success of Ukrainian Sectors for EU Market Integration”. During these sessions, participants will collaborate to identify and build on the strongest competitive advantages of Ukrainian businesses in five key sectors, and explore practical strategies for integration into the EU market.
Together, we’ll co-create actionable solutions in the following areas:
- Food industry
- Woodworking and furniture
- Electrical equipment
- Textile and apparel industry
- IT sector
The ideas generated during the event may form the basis for future policy changes to support Ukrainian SMEs on their path to the EU market.
