Ukrainian Week in London
Ukrainian Week in London will be held in on 8–11 October 2018, is a major initiative launched by the British-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce (BUCC). For this initiative, business joins forces with the civil society and the expert community to explore the common interests of the UK and Ukraine in the context of rising global challenges and to call attention in the UK to investment, trade, and other opportunities in Ukraine.
In the last 4+ years, Ukraine has undergone significant transformation, driven by the country’s decisive steps in the direction of integrating itself with the Western world. It has made important strides in its transformation into a European market economy, having modernised its banking system, created new institutions for effective fight against corruption, and introduced regulatory changes that make Ukraine easier to invest in.
All of this has taken place against the backdrop of Russian aggression against Ukraine that didn’t deter the country’s progress. However, many misleading or outdated images of Ukraine may still persist in the UK. This event aims to correct them by providing an accurate and informed picture of Ukraine’s on-the-ground reality.
Organisers are confident that this series of events will spark new interest in Ukraine’s potential as a reliable and complementary partner for the UK, both in deepening economic cooperation and in formulating a joint response to modern security threats, informed by the experience and expertise of each side.

8 October 2018: Day 1 of the Ukrainian Week will be devoted to the Security Conference, focusing on strategic challenges, threats, and opportunities for cooperation between Ukraine and the UK.
