Ukraine Trade Missions

Our Goal

The reconstruction of post-war Ukraine will have an estimated cost of $600 billion, and will require the technical expertise, technology, and manufacturing capabilities of multiple nations. The time to organize for this reconstruction is now, and, despite the danger of physical travel to Ukraine, it is possible to build the relationships needed to via virtual meetings. Companies will find opportunities to supply goods and services in the current Ukrainian environment as well as in the immediate post-war period.

This is the first in a series of virtual trade missions organized by Zaza Connect to enable companies large and small, U.S. and non-U.S., to find long-term business opportunities in post-crisis and emerging markets.

How it works

We work with you to identify your organization’s specific goals in Ukraine reconstruction, and to identify likely Ukrainian partners, as well as sources of government support and financing. We then develop and share contact information and profiles of Ukrainian companies and organizations seeking foreign partners. During the mission itself, we will hold a series of virtual one-on-one meetings with appropriate Ukrainian partners, with proper language interpretation provided as needed.
