Ukrainian-Swiss Business Association, represented by the President, Dmytro Sidenko, took part in the 2nd International Exhibition&Conference Rebuild Ukraine, held in Warsaw in November 14-15, 2023.

Here are the highlights of the conference:

We were thrilled to join the Swiss delegation at the Swiss Pavilion. The delegation was hosted by the Swiss Embassy and Swiss Business Hub in Poland, which organized Switzerland’s participation in the conference. It was a valuable opportunity to interact with members of the Swiss delegation that included representatives from SECO, SGE, Swissmem, Swiss.ing, Helvetas, and SwissContact.

This conference served as the perfect platform to promote the newly founded Swiss Ukrainian Reconstruction Agency (SURA) – a joint project of the Ukrainian-Swiss Business Association (USBA) and the Joint Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Caucasus (JCC), represented by Dorit Sallis, Managing Director.

SURA’s goal is to assist the Swiss government in implementing and managing projects/programs for the reconstruction of Ukraine as well as to help Swiss companies get involved in this process.

As part of the Swiss delegation, Dmytro Sidenko and Dorit Sallis took part in the highly anticipated meeting with Herve Lohr, Deputy Head Bilateral Economic Relations and Head Americas – Ukraine Recovery Coordination, State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, SECO and Sergiy Tsivkach, CEO of UkraineInvest, regarding the future investment projects between Switzerland and Ukraine, paving the way for promising collaborations.

As part of the event, Dmytro Sidenko conducted a series of meetings with 20 regional representatives from Ukraine that will contribute to expanding the partnerships with Swiss companies and investors, ensuring growth and development of Ukrainian communities.

During the conference, the Swiss pavilion opened doors for Swiss and global partners and companies, the private sector and the donor community involved in the recovery of Ukraine.

Overall, the Rebuild Ukraine conference provided the platform for dialogue and collaboration in rebuilding Ukraine. Fruitful meetings and important declarations give hope for the development of Ukraine.
