11th Kyiv International Economic Forum will take place in Kyiv on October 16

On October 16, Kyiv will host the 11th Kyiv International Economic Forum – a leading platform for dialogue between business, government, society, and the international community. This year’s topic – “Ukraine 2.0: The Power of People” – reflects a key idea: in times of war, the recovery and modernization of Ukraine  and global turbulence depend on the specific decisions and actions of people – in business, government, education, and industry.

The Forum will bring together more than 1,000 leaders of Ukrainian and international business, government representatives, investors, and global experts to provide practical answers to critical questions: how to attract investment, scale production, integrate into global supply chains, build energy resilience, and remain competitive amid war and global change.

The program includes 15 panel discussions with over 100 speakers.

Key discussions include:

“Ukraine is enduring a prolonged conflict and significant economic pressure. At the same time, the world itself is changing rapidly through technological revolution, a new arms race, the energy transition, demographic shifts. A return to 2022 is impossible – we face a new reality and new opportunities. That is why at KIEF we will find answers to fundamental questions: what Ukraine of tomorrow will look like, how its economy, industry, and energy sector will evolve. And above all – what kind of people will shape and live in this new Ukraine”, emphasizes Yuriy Pyvovarov, CEO of KIEF.

Among the Forum’s speakers:

International leaders

Business leaders and top managers
