Position paper - Ukraine’s integration with the EU: unlocking business opportunities and overcoming challenges to investment

Ukraine’s EU accession process presents a strategic opportunity to drive growth, trade and investment across Europe. For transatlantic businesses, integration offers access to a resilient, resource-rich market and strengthened supply chains, with new opportunities in key sectors including digital, agri-food and energy. But realising this potential requires Ukraine to enhance institutional capacity, modernise infrastructure and align more closely with EU regulatory standards. In parallel, the EU must prepare for enlargement while supporting Ukraine’s recovery and trade integration. Inclusive public-private dialogue, regulatory support and rule of law reforms will be essential. With the right framework, Ukraine’s accession can deliver lasting prosperity for Ukraine, the EU and international business partners.
