NEW STRONG BUSINESS PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN DENMARK AND UKRAINE

Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Morten Bødskov has traveled to Ukraine together with a business delegation, where he, among other things, will meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj. Together with Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko, the Minister for Industry, Business and Financial Affairs has signed an agreement to strengthen cooperation between Denmark and Ukraine in the fight for freedom.
Since the start of the war, Danish business has supported Ukraine's fight against Russian troops. Both through donations for humanitarian aid and investments, which will help rebuild Ukraine and its economy.
In order to strengthen the already strong cooperation, Minister Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Morten Bødskov has traveled to Ukraine with a number of Danish CEOs. With an agreement between Denmark and Ukraine, the Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs and Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yuliia Svyrydenko have laid a strategic and long-term framework for the work on the reconstruction of Ukraine. Here, the focus is particularly on rebuilding critical infrastructure, green energy and the Ukrainian industry.

Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs Minister Morten Bødskov:

"Ukraine's fight for freedom is our fight for freedom. The support must continue. And here, Danish businesses have already repeatedly shown what they are made of. We must not let Putin's attacks stand in the way of investments in the reconstruction of the free Ukraine of the future. Our collaboration is already strong, but now we are making it even stronger. With the agreement, we ensure that Danish knowledge and innovation can benefit and help the Ukrainians rebuild their country. Together we can create fertile ground for a strong and free Ukraine for the future.” 
During his trip, the Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs and the rest of the delegation met with the Minister for Restoration of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov and other representatives from the Ukrainian government and the Ukrainian parliament. He also held meetings with a number of representatives from Danish companies present in Ukraine. In addition, the Minister of Industry, Business and Financial Affairs visited one of Carlsberg's large breweries in the country, which represents one of the most significant Danish investments in Ukraine.
