On April 24, 2025, the international forum “Industrial Evolution. Production turns on the economy”. The event will bring together more than 1000 leaders of the manufacturing sector, government and local authorities from all over Ukraine, investors, bankers and international partners to discuss the future of Ukrainian industry, its scaling, investment attraction and innovation.
With the war having destroyed one-third of Ukraine’s industrial potential, the country needs not just a restoration, but a complete reboot of its manufacturing sector. Industrial parks, accelerators, international investments, modern production ecosystems and innovations are what determine the vector of Ukraine’s industrial development.
“For economic success, Ukraine needs powerful innovative industries. We see how other developed countries, such as Turkey, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Romania, have achieved this through industrial development. My team and I have already implemented an industrial park in Bila Tserkva, and this is an experience we are ready to share so that hundreds of new growth points appear in the country. That is why we have created a platform for business, the state and investors to find effective solutions for the development of production in Ukraine – today, without waiting for better times,” says Vasyl Khmelnytsky, founder of UFuture holding and initiator of the forum.
The program includes 4 panel discussions on the key challenges and prospects for the development of Ukraine’s industrial sector. The discussions will focus on state incentive tools, regional support programs, tax policy, access to finance, technology and innovation. They will also discuss the transformation of vocational education to meet the needs of the new industry, the development of industrial parks, attracting foreign investment, and the practical experience of international companies that are already setting up production in Ukraine.
The forum will feature a Made in Ukraine exposition area for equipment for industry and urban infrastructure.
Ukrainian companies from all over the country will present innovations in the areas of industrial automation, construction, transportation, and electronics. The exhibits will include robotic solutions, industrial 3D printers, high-speed charging stations, ventilation systems, construction and specialized machinery, innovative welding systems, electronics components, etc.
The event will also feature the opening of a new plant of the Finnish corporation Peikko Group, a world leader in the production of thin interfloor structures and connection technologies for prefabricated and monolithic construction. The plant, located in the Bila Tserkva Industrial Park, will be an important step in Ukraine’s reconstruction. Forum participants will be the first to get acquainted with its production facilities and technologies.

For more than 2 years of war, Ukraine’s agricultural sector has suffered losses of $80.1 billion (according to the World Bank), with direct losses reaching more than $10 billion.

Accordingly, the main issues today are: how to make the country’s agricultural sector profitable in the face of war; how to boost grain processing; how to build energy-efficient and energy-independent production; and opening and entering new markets. We will try to find answers to these and many other pressing questions during the discussion panels and individual presentations at the conference “Grain and Processing: Development Despite the War ”, which will be held on September 18-20, 2024 in Kyiv and will be dedicated to the 10th anniversary of the Union “Millers of Ukraine”.
