On March 2, at the invitation of UkraineInvest, the Dnipropetrovsk Regional Investment Agency participated in the Ukraine-Denmark Business Partnership and Investment Forum – the largest visit of Danish businesses to Ukraine since the full-scale invasion. 

38 leading companies from Denmark and approximately 300 representatives from Ukrainian businesses, industry associations, and the public sector gathered for a practical dialogue and the launch of new investment projects in key sectors such as energy, defense and defense technologies, infrastructure, logistics, ICT, critical materials, and agriculture.

The discussion focused on financial support instruments, particularly the possibility of expanding grant mechanisms for the private sector. 

Special emphasis was placed on cooperation with the Export and Investment Fund of Denmark (EIFO), which has completed 24 transactions in Ukraine totaling €440 million over the past two years. A unique feature of EIFO is its investment insurance for Ukrainian defense enterprises, providing coverage for up to 70% of risks. This instrument is expected to significantly bolster investment in the defense industry. 

Denmark’s total support for Ukraine since 2022 has exceeded €8 billion. The trade turnover reached $672 million in 2025, with Ukrainian exports increasing by 4%.

For Dnipropetrovsk region, Denmark is an important trade partner. According to the latest data, the region’s export volume amounted to $12.2 million, representing 5.8% of Ukraine’s total exports. Over 20 companies, primarily from the mining and metals, machinery, and manufacturing sectors, have exported their products to the Danish market.

The import of goods from Denmark to the Dnipropetrovsk region amounted to $8.3 million. The majority of import transactions were carried out by companies in the food and processing industries, as well as trade and pharmaceutical companies.
