We discussed specific projects that might be interesting for Swedish companies to invest in. We heard from our colleagues that Swedish businesses already operating in Ukraine are interested in increasing their presence, and potential investors are interested in cooperating in high-tech industries such as conventional and green energy, telecommunications, and cybersecurity. It is very important for us to localize such high-tech production in Ukraine. We have excellent opportunities for cooperation that will benefit both countries
According to her, the meeting discussed ways to increase support for Ukraine's energy sector in the face of ongoing missile attacks by the Russian Federation. They also discussed opportunities for investment in other key sectors of the economy that are considered priorities for the period from 2024 to 2027 and have great potential for growth.
They also discussed the possibility of involving the Swedish Export Credit Agency to insure military risks for Swedish investors. One of the topics of conversation was the development of women's entrepreneurship in Ukraine and the provision of grants for women to develop their businesses in order to reduce the gender pay gap. The government has set itself the task of reducing this gap from 18.6% to 13.6% by 2030.
