Eco-Industrial Parks Forum 2025 to be held in Kyiv: Ukraine’s post-war recovery through sustainable economy

2 April , 2025  

On Thursday, April 10, 2025, from 9:30 to 19:00, the second Eco-Industrial Parks Forum will take place in Kyiv, bringing together leading government officials, business and experts to discuss key strategies and solutions for implementing circular sustainable economy models in the context of Ukraine’s post-war recovery.

The high-level event will be held within the framework of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) project “Global Eco-Industrial Parks Program II – Ukraine: National Component”, which is being implemented with the support of the Government of Switzerland through the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.

The forum aims to join forces to accelerate the development of eco-industrial parks in Ukraine, which will become the driving force of the new generation economy, combining industrial development with the principles of a green economy.

The key topics of the forum will include:

  • Policy development in the field of eco-industrial parks in Ukraine
  • Strategic financial mechanisms for sustainable industrial development
  • Global best practices and successful implementation examples
  • Readiness of Ukrainian business to implement the principles of eco-industrial parks

Representatives of the Government of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Embassy of Switzerland, UNIDO and other international organizations, as well as more than 30 leading international and Ukrainian experts and business community leaders will take part in the opening ceremony and discussion panels.

“The rebuilding of Ukraine is a chance to create a new generation economy integrated into the European economic space. Eco-industrial parks can become its driving force, combining industrial development with the principles of the circular economy. However, success depends on the right choice of models and policies, and this is a common challenge for government and business. Only joint efforts will contribute to the creation of industrial ecosystems that will become engines of sustainable growth,” said UNIDO’s Industrial Development Coordinator Christian Susan.

The forum will provide an opportunity to network with key stakeholders who shape the future of sustainable industrial development in Ukraine. The forum will also feature an award ceremony for the most successful eco-industrial parks in Ukraine 2025.
