The original and leading Ukrainian investment gathering worldwideWe are pleased to announce that preparations are underway for the 8th annual Ukrainian Investment Summit, which will take place on 18th – 20th April 2012 at the Grange St Paul’s Hotel in London. The UIS is the largest investment gathering for Ukraine worldwide, annually attracting hundreds of attendees from across the globe. The Summit brings together the elite of Ukrainian business and key government officials to meet with their international counterparts. The event’s unique value is that it provides an independent and objective platform for discussing the major challenges to doing business in Ukraine. The Summit promises to be particularly timely this year, taking place just weeks before Ukraine is at the centre of the world’s attention as co-host of the Euro-2012 tournament. However it also takes place against a backdrop of global economic turmoil and growing frustration at the pace of reform domestically. A 60-strong speaker faculty will provide timely and expert analysis of the macroeconomic situation in Ukraine and of what is required to succeed in the Ukrainian business environment. The exciting new venue of the UIS-12 is the Grange St Paul’s – a stylish and modern hotel with excellent conference facilities overlooking St Paul’s Cathedral and conveniently situated between the City and the centre of London, ideal for both business and relaxation before and after the Summit. |
