Description
The European Union is working on the integration of Ukrainian businesses into the EU Single Market. In the past weeks, bilateral exchanges between Ukrainian and European clusters have shown that there are business opportunities for both sides, for example in the agri-food, construction, advanced manufacturing, or textile sectors. Ukrainian companies are looking for new orders and business opportunities and could be interesting partners for the European industry.
In this context, the European Cluster Collaboration Platform, on behalf of the European Commission, DG GROW, organised the EU Clusters Talk “Ukraine: business challenges, opportunities, & the EU Single Market” on 8 June 2022, 8:30-10:30 CET, to speak about the actions from the European Commission to integrate Ukrainian businesses into the EU Single Market, hear about the capacities of the Ukrainian industry from Ukrainian representatives themselves, and look at the impact of the war on Ukrainian social enterprises and their actions to support civil society and local businesses.
We welcomed as speakers:
- Maive Rute, Deputy Director General and head of the Task Force for Supply Chains at Directorate General for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs (DG GROW), European Commission
- Taras Holub, Advisor to Vice Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine
