Kyiv, May 21, 2025 – The Second International Business Forum "Vision of Ukraine 2030" successfully took place at the Unit.city conference center in Kyiv. The event, organized by the consulting company CROWE Mikhailenko in cooperation with the Project "Preparing Eastern Partnership Countries for the European Green Deal" (PROGRESS), brought together leading experts, representatives of business, government, local communities, as well as Ukrainian and international non-governmental organizations.

The main goal of the forum was to create a platform for discussing long-term scenarios for Ukraine's post-war development in the face of modern global challenges. Participants actively engaged in a series of panel discussions, expert talks, and public interviews, which contributed to fostering a constructive dialogue about the country's future.

A separate Gallery Walk working session allowed participants to exchange experiences in projects related to investments in climate change adaptation technologies, technological and financial innovations, digitalization, renewable energy, greenhouse gas emission reduction, and the development of clusters and ecosystems. Experts from the NGO Primavera, Olga Zhovtonog, Tetiana Matiash, and Natalia Yushchenko, also actively participated in the forum. For the Gallery Walk session, NGO Primavera prepared handouts that showcased the results of recent projects implemented with the organization's involvement at the level of territorial communities in various regions of Ukraine.
