Ukrainian American House has partnered with American University Kyiv, the U.S - Ukraine Business Council, Kyiv School of Public Administration Named After Serhiy Nyzhnyy, and the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine to host the first Ukrainian-American Forum in Kyiv. Since the start of the war, there has been an increased interest in establishing business partnerships between Ukraine and the U.S. Along with our partners, we have created a networking platform for these organizations.

The Ukrainian-American Forum brings together experts, stakeholders, and policymakers from Ukraine and the United States to discuss the challenges and opportunities presented by Ukraine's war and post-war environment. The forum will focus on two main topics: War Time Economy and Ukrainian-American Partnering. Through the exchange of ideas and building relationships, the forum will provide a platform for participants to develop innovative solutions for complex challenges facing Ukraine and the world. By promoting cross-sectoral collaboration, the forum aims to create a better future for both Ukraine and the world.
