On 31 July, the INVEST IN UKRAINE congress is taking place in Kyiv, where representatives of the government, banks, investment funds, diplomatic missions, builders, developers, businesses, architects and communities have come together to discuss the investment climate, strategies for its improvement and the benefits of investing in Ukraine.
“The key words that unite us today are: restoration as a form of construction activity, design as a form of planning and, accordingly, the implementation of the best creative achievements of architects. In addition, it is also a classic investment in the social sphere. All of this combines the interests of the state, the classical public sector of culture, which deals with art education, support for creativity, including design, and, of course, investors who want to return their money through the creation of a high-quality, good and beautiful product,” said Rostyslav Karandieiev, Acting Minister of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine.
He noted that there was a shortage of restorers and urban planners in Ukraine, so the issue of supporting educational institutions that train such specialists remained relevant.
The Acting Minister also stressed that the state was already taking steps to preserve historical monuments. However, success requires joint efforts of the state, business and the public. By investing in the restoration and preservation of cultural heritage and social projects, businesses not only create new jobs and develop the country’s tourism potential, but also enrich Ukrainian history and culture.
In general, the forum participants discussed investments in commercial, warehouse and industrial property in Ukraine during the war. They also discussed how the real estate market has changed over the course of the war.
