The 10th Kyiv International Economic Forum (KIEF) 2024 will be held on November 7. The topic of this year's KIEF is ‘The Power of Challenge: Factors Shaping the Future of Ukraine and the World’.

The forum will take place in Kyiv in times of war for the third time. The participants will discuss the war in Ukraine in the context of the global world: protecting Ukraine's economic interests in the EU, opportunities and challenges for human capital, the future energy system, Ukrainian Defence Tech in the global technology market, and business relationships with the authorities to rebuild Ukraine.

This year, the Forum will take place just two days after the U.S. presidential election, making it one of the key topics for discussion among speakers and the community. 

‘It’s important for businesses, government, and society to work together and find ways to cooperate effectively. Particularly now, as Ukraine faces a full-scale invasion and the world deals with more instability. We are on the path of significant changes, leaving us with a question: how will we respond? Will these challenges hold us back, or will they push us to find new solutions and keep moving forward?’ — said Yurii Pyvovarov, CEO of the Kyiv International Economic Forum.

Over 100 speakers are expected to participate in more than 15 panel discussions.
Among them:

Representatives of the international community

Leaders of the business community

Vasyl Khmelnytsky, Initiator of the Forum, founder of UFuture holding

Participants from the public sector, such as representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers, the Office of the President of Ukraine, and the Verkhovna Rada, will also participate in the discussion panels.
