On September 6, the first nationwide Ukrainian Padel Expo conference will take place at the UNIT.City innovation park in Kyiv (3 Dorogozhytska St., Building B12). The event is organized by the Ukrainian Padel Federation, the UNIT.City innovation park, and Sport Business Media Agency.
The goal of the event is to bring together in one place everyone involved in the development of padel in Ukraine: club owners, investors, coaches, and enthusiasts of the sport. The event is intended to serve as a platform for sharing experiences, presenting new projects, and discussing the prospects for the development of the padel industry in the country—from the construction of courts to the formation of sports communities.
The target audience for the Ukrainian Padel Expo includes sports club owners and investors, real estate developers, padel court operators, coaches and sports managers, representatives of sports federations, government agencies, and public and charitable organizations, sports brands and the media, as well as anyone who already plays padel or is simply interested in the sport.
Ukrainian Padel Expo is one of the tools for implementing the Ukrainian Padel Federation’s long-term vision for the development of padel in Ukraine. Key priorities include the development of sports infrastructure, the training of coaches and referees, support for the club movement, and international cooperation. The event, held in partnership with the UNIT.City Innovation Park, will bring together the sports community, businesses, investors, and international partners to promote padel and strengthen Ukraine’s position within the global padel community.
During the Ukrainian Padel Expo, the Ukrainian Padel Federation will present key areas for the development of padel in Ukraine and its vision for the future of the sport.
Throughout the day, the conference will feature over 40 speakers—representatives from the industry, the business sector, and passionate padel players. An outdoor demonstration padel court by Adidas will be set up, where guests can watch live matches. The event grounds will also feature themed partner zones. The organizers expect around 1,000 guests throughout the day.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn about practical case studies on the development of clubs and padel courts, find potential partners, discuss investment opportunities, and contribute to the formation of Ukraine’s professional padel community, as well as watch exhibition matches, meet coaches, and try their hand at padel.

At a remote general meeting on July 20, the shareholders of Prilutsk Meat Processing Plant PJSC approved a resolution to convert the company into a limited liability company (LLC), according to a company filing in the disclosure system of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC).
According to the filing, “Pryluky Meat Processing Plant” LLC will become the sole legal successor to the private joint-stock company, and all of the company’s assets, rights, and obligations will be transferred to it. The reason cited for the change in organizational and legal form is the shareholders’ desire to make the company’s operations more efficient and less costly.
The shares of the public joint-stock company will be converted into shares of the LLC at a ratio of 1:1, and all shareholders whose shares were not redeemed will become founders of the LLC.
To carry out the reorganization, the shareholders elected a reorganization commission, chaired by the company’s director, Artem Rozhko.
Pryluky Meat Processing Plant PJSC was registered in 2003 in Pryluky, Chernihiv Oblast, and specializes in the production of meat products. The ultimate beneficiary is Dmytro Rozhko.

The growth potential for the market capitalization of Transcarpathia’s tourism clusters over the next three years could reach 40–50%, and 60% for the Skole District in Lviv Oblast, according to the study “Promised vs. Real” by Ribas Invest and Ribas Hotels Group.
As explained to the “Interfax-Ukraine” news agency, this level of market capitalization is driven by growing tourism demand in regions where competition among professional developers remains minimal.
“The market has learned to look not where everything has already been built, but where infrastructure is just taking shape. The difference in land prices between overheated and new locations is now as much as tenfold—this is the ‘window’ for entry before capital floods in,” explained Artur Lupashko, founder of Ribas Hotels Group.
As part of a comprehensive audit of Ukraine’s hotel and recreational development sector, Ribas Invest has identified clusters of locations where entry costs have not yet peaked, despite rapidly growing demand. These include, in particular, the Sinyak–Pylypets–Podobovets corridor in Zakarpattia, the Skole–Tukhlya corridor in Lviv Oblast, and the Kaniv–Cherkasy corridor along the Dnipro River.
According to the study, the average price per 100 square meters of land in the village of Polyanytsia (Bukovel) is $25,000–45,000, in Pylypets—$3,500–6,000, and in the Skole District—$1,500–3,000. The difference in land prices between these locations reaches 1,000%, while the cost of renting a ready-to-use room differs by only 20–25%.
Researchers also note that by 2026, Zakarpattia will have upgraded rail and road logistics, which will make the region comparable to Ivano-Frankivsk in terms of accessibility—at one-third the cost of assets.
Other promising destinations include the Shatsk–Svitiaz lake region in Volyn, the suburbs of Kyiv, and the Odesa coast, where demand is driven by the desire for safe suburban getaways and energy-independent real estate.
Ribas Hotels Group—founded in 2014 in Odesa—is an international full-cycle hotel management company and a hotel business ecosystem. It integrates the entire process—from site selection, design, and construction to management, franchising, and investment.
Ribas Hotels Group is the only hotel group that independently handles all stages of creating and developing hotel projects.
The company’s portfolio includes 56 projects currently under construction, in the launch phase, or under management, including locations in Ukraine, Poland, Turkey, and Bali. The company develops 3-, 4-, and 5-star city and resort hotels under the brands Ribas Hotels, Ribas Rooms, WOL home + hotel, and Mandra Moments.
The operator’s total room inventory exceeds 1,000 rooms.
