Rebuilding Ukraine – new opportunities through digital transformation – Part 2

Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression, Ukraine has suffered billions in damage. In addition to the greatest damage in the residential sector and to infrastructure, the damage in the industrial sector is in the double-digit billion range. The education sector has also been severely affected with the destruction of over 3,500 educational institutions.  (German reference) 

In this time of change and challenges, it is crucial that Ukrainian companies are given the necessary tools and knowledge to successfully reorient and rebuild themselves. At the same time, the reconstruction also offers the opportunity to focus on digitalization from the very beginning. With the help of digital technologies, small and medium-sized production companies in Ukraine can be driven forward and thus support the survival and reconstruction of the local economy after the war. But digital technologies can also provide support in other important areas: in automation, they can counteract the shortage of skilled workers and digital learning opportunities allow employees to continue their education regardless of time and place.

The forthcoming EU regulations must be taken into account during reconstruction: the association agreements between the EU and Ukraine have not lapsed as a result of the Russian war of aggression. On the contrary, cooperation has even been strengthened in order to support Ukraine in its resistance against the aggressor. The EU has expanded its political, economic and humanitarian support for Ukraine since the beginning of the conflict. In addition, efforts are being made to further advance the comprehensive adaptation of Ukrainian legislation to EU standards in order to promote Ukraine’s integration into the EU. It is therefore essential for Ukrainian companies to be well informed and prepared in order to master the challenges and opportunities arising from the markets and new regulations.

In the second online session on 23.01.2025, we will provide an overview of digital technologies and share expertise and best practices in the field of automation and digitalization to help companies optimize their production processes and make them more efficient. In addition, we will provide information on the challenge of the shortage of skilled workers and how companies can counteract this with the help of automation. We will also be presenting the „Skill4Recovery“ project. Furthermore we will give an overview of the important topic of current and future EU regulations.

Use this opportunity to exchange ideas with experts and like-minded people, gain valuable insights and expand your network. Together we can overcome the challenges and set the course for a successful future.
