The event explored the current state of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure, the path to recovery, the outlook for energy costs, and practical strategies businesses can adopt to strengthen resilience ahead of next winter. It also examined how companies across different sectors navigated this severe winter, highlighting lessons learned in maintaining operations, adapting business models, and responding to both B2B and B2C challenges. The discussion further looked ahead to the broader investment climate, including what this winter has revealed about risk, resilience, and business prospects in Ukraine.
