On April 30, 2026, Kyiv will host the International Women’s Economic Forum 2026 — an event that will bring together women entrepreneurs, international partners, business community representatives, and experts. The forum will run from 10:00 to 17:00 in a hybrid format, both offline and online.
The event is initiated by the Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in cooperation with international partners and UKRSIBBANK.
The forum will focus on practical aspects of developing women’s entrepreneurship in the context of global challenges. Participants will discuss business internationalization, access to European Union markets, export readiness, and opportunities for scaling and growing their businesses.
A special focus of the forum is to support women entrepreneurs entering international markets. As part of the event, 15 participants will be selected to receive individual consultations on business development and integration into the European economic space.
The forum is supported by the STEP IN 2 EU international cooperation program, co-funded by the governments of Germany and Norway, as well as the European Union within the EU4Business initiative. The program is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
The International Women’s Economic Forum 2026 will serve as a platform for experience exchange, partnership building, and creating new opportunities for Ukrainian women in business aiming to grow globally.
Registration for participation is now open.
