**Ukraine House Davos: A Message of Hope and Investment**
In the Swiss town of Davos, Ukraine House has been hosting world leaders and investors for six years in a row. This year’s event focused on the benefits Ukraine can offer other countries in return for peace and economic recovery.
**A New Era of Peace and Investment**
The Ukrainian delegation highlighted Ukraine’s estimated $26 trillion in natural resources and minerals. With Donald Trump as the new US President, there is hope that he will bring a swift end to the war, leading to a wave of investment. Ulyana Khromyak, Ukraine House’s executive Director since 2023, said that part of the delegation’s mission was to convince investors to come to Ukraine now, rather than waiting until after the war.
**Investment Opportunities Abound**
Ukraine has significant opportunities for investment in innovation, infrastructure, agriculture, and energy sectors. Khromyak emphasized that these sectors are crucial for the world, and Ukraine has all the resources needed to increase their efficiency with the right investments. The frozen Russian assets were also discussed as a potential source of funding.
**War Risk Insurance: A Key to Attracting Investors**
The government is supporting war risk insurance, making it more attractive for investors to come into Ukraine now. Khromyak said that investors are interested in investing and are willing to take on some risks. The first successes have already been seen with the Aon and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) transaction.
**A Message of Hope**
Ukraine House’s message to Davos 2025 is one of hope and investment. Khromyak emphasized that everyone will be queuing after the war, making it essential for investors to come now and secure better conditions. The Ukrainian government, opinion leaders, and NGOs are lobbying for the use of frozen Russian assets to strengthen the economy.
**Conclusion**
Ukraine House Davos has shown that there is hope for a just and sustainable peace, along with significant investment opportunities in Ukraine. With the right political will and support from countries around the world, Ukraine can rebuild its economy and become a strong player on the global stage.
