DownloadUkraine's membership in the EU is already becoming a reality, and accession negotiations are gaining momentum. However, the main question is: what will be Ukraine's role in the EU economy? Will the country become only a raw material supplier, or will it be able to develop high value-added industries?
In this panel discussion, we will focus on how Ukraine can integrate into the EU economy while preserving its own identity and developing high value-added industries. We will discuss what role Ukraine can play in the EU economy, which industries have the greatest potential for development, and how to ensure that the Ukrainian economy becomes not only a part of the single market, but also an important driver of it.
