For investors, sectors that create high added value and whose products can be competitive on world markets are primarily attractive. Ukraine has identified ten industries that have significant investment potential.
Defense-industrial complex ($43 billion of investment potential). Protection of the state and guarantee of our security in the future. After all, one of the most capable armies in Europe — the Armed Forces of Ukraine — will continue to need constant equipment. In addition, the development of Military-tech and the defense-industrial complex will strengthen the country's export potential.
Metallurgy and metalworking ($26 billion of investment potential). Ukraine has experience in high-tech metallurgical processes and a complete cycle of titanium and titanium-containing products. Able to maintain a niche in the iron market of direct recovery and "green" metallurgy.
Energy ($177 billion of investment potential). We can generate tens and possibly hundreds of gigawatts of "green" electrical power and millions of tons of "green" hydrogen. We will offer Europe an alternative to "dirty" Russian energy.
Natural resources ($5.6 billion investment potential). Ukraine is rich in mineral resources in high concentration and proximity to each other. The country has significant reserves of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, etc.
Agro-industrial complex ($34 billion investment potential). Ukraine is considered the "granary of Europe," but it will also be the "food basket" of the world. We aim to increase processing capacity and develop sectors with high added value, such as meat, milk and dairy products, horticulture, etc.
Logistics and infrastructure ($123 billion of investment potential). The geographical location of Ukraine makes it an important transit corridor for trade. Logistics is one of the most critical sectors of the economy, with an extensive network of railways and highways, sea and river ports, and airports?
Industrial production ($16 billion of investment potential). Ukraine has an extensive network of machine-building enterprises that produce turbines and electric generators, railway cars, mining and agricultural equipment, machine tools, aircraft engines, and production equipment for the light and food industries.
Woodworking and furniture production ($5 billion investment potential). Ukraine can become the continent's furniture factory. We have a resource base and convenient logistics for delivering finished goods.
Pharmaceuticals ($19 billion of investment potential). This industry is one of the leaders in investments. Ukrainian pharmaceutical companies meet international standards. Most production facilities have been partially restored following GMP.
Innovative technologies ($11 billion of investment potential). We were the first to convert most personal official and government documents into digital solutions. Ukraine ranks 4th worldwide regarding the volume of financial transactions using mobile devices. It is the fourth in the world by the number of cryptocurrency users. It is worth noting that our country produces more graduates with technological degrees than any other European country. There are 240,000 specialists employed in the IT sector in Ukraine?
These are well-educated people who speak English and are valued all over the world. Ukraine ranks first among the countries of Central and Eastern Europe in terms of scientific research and IT outsourcing
The IT sector suffered minor losses from the war — it retained 95% of contract volumes and successfully adapted to tough conditions. The investment will allow us to move from IT outsourcing to product development.
This will increase capitalization and make the information technology sector even more competitive in world markets.
