By expanding U.S. economic influence and reducing Ukraine’s vulnerability to Chinese commercial pressure, this program is aimed at unlocking new markets for American businesses, deepening strategic partnerships, and advancing a strong and prosperous United States. This program will strengthen U.S.–Ukraine trade and investment ties by equipping Ukrainian business leaders, entrepreneurs, and policymakers with the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to partner effectively with American companies. This program will contribute to economic growth and job creation for both countries by identifying commercial opportunities and promoting a healthier investment climate for U.S. businesses in Ukraine. One focus of the program will be on joint efforts in critical minerals—ensuring that U.S. companies play a leading role in securing, processing, and supplying essential resources needed for global industries. By aligning with the Ukrainian Reconstruction Fund in partnership with the U.S., the program will support infrastructure development, energy projects, and industrial modernization, creating a robust platform for U.S. companies to invest in Ukraine’s recovery and future growth.
