The Investment Promotion Office (UkraineInvest) has received 23 requests from potential investors for a total of $1.35 billion within the framework of the adopted law on “investment nannies,” UkraineInvest Executive Director Serhiy Tsivkach told Interfax-Ukraine on the sidelines of Hyperloop 3.0 organized by the Biosphere Corporation in Lviv.
“As of today, we have 23 projects. The 24th is being confirmed. The total amount is $1.35 billion. I think that after this event, the pipeline will increase by another 500 million,” Tsivkach said.
According to him, now UkraineInvest employs about 14 people in this direction. “Some of them work directly with investors, some do their homework. We try to ensure that one manager has 7-10 projects,” the head of UkraineInvest said.
He said that the government has already adopted four by-laws necessary for the launch of the investment nannies mechanism in practice.
“We are still expecting three acts: on keeping the register of projects, requirements for feasibility studies and methodology for calculating the amount of state aid. I think that within a month, God forbid, we will be able to process the first applications and submit them to the Ministry of Economy,” Tsivkach said.
