To make it easier for Danish companies to invest, establish and expand their involvement in Ukraine, business minister Morten Bødskov and Ukraine's deputy prime minister and economy minister, Yulia Svyrydenko, are introducing a fast-track system. Together, the two ministers have signed an agreement allowing Danish companies easier access to relevant Ukrainian authorities, ensuring faster resolutions of issues that currently hinder further Danish investments in Ukraine.
The launch of this new partnership follows the Memorandum of Understanding on Danish-Ukrainian cooperation for the long-term reconstruction of Ukraine, signed by Business Minister Morten Bødskov and Ukraine’s Minister of Economy in April 2024.
Minister of Industry, Business and financial affairs Morten Bødskov:
"We stand shoulder to shoulder with Ukraine, and Danish business are no exception. Starting a business in Ukraine is not straightforward, but there is no doubt that companies are eager to do so. We must support them in this endeavor. That is why, together with Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, Yulia Svyrydenko, I have signed an agreement to help Danish businesses establish themselves, invest, and engage in Ukraine’s reconstruction. Danish companies are taking great responsibility, contributing critical knowledge and expertise. Whether it is green energy, new technologies, or strengthening critical infrastructure, they are making a difference. This is yet another example of how Denmark and Ukraine are working together to find solutions."
Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy, Yulia Svyrydenko:
"Ukraine needs increased private investment to accelerate the recovery of our economy. We are working to strengthen ties between Danish and Ukrainian companies and improve business conditions in Ukraine. Today, we signed an MoU launching the Fast-Track Mechanism between our governments. This mechanism will act as a single entry point to address barriers faced by Danish companies and investors in Ukraine."
