“InCo Forum-2018”, a grand Integration and Cooperation International Forum, has launched in Zaporizhia. This year, the forum invited amalgamated territorial communities of the region to present their economic potential and investment projects, enabling them to extend their mutual contracts with prospective partners and create a platform for discussion of the latest trends in foreign economic and investment activity.

The discussion welcomed participation of the diplomatic community, representatives of public authorities, territorial communities, business owners, Ukrainian and foreign investors, top managers, experts, representatives of international technical aid projects, and business associations. Today, “Kozak-Palace” Exhibition Center launches three panel discussions: “Alternative Energy”, “Cooperation between Businesses and Communities”, and “International Technical Aid”. Zinaida Boyko, Chief of RSA’s staff, took part in the latter. On the occasion of the forum’s opening, Konstiantyn Bryl, Chief of RSA, welcomed the participants online at the beginning of the discussion.

The demonstration of video presentations of investment projects of amalgamated territorial communities has become a “signature moment” of this year’s forum. Everyone will be able to vote for the project that is the best one in his or her opinion by using a custom-designed interactive voting system.

There have been selected three thematic aspects for the forum, to which the panel discussions are dedicated: alternative energy, best practices and development prospects; international technical aid for development of business and communities; and cooperation between businesses and communities. An exhibition of investment projects of the region’s communities has become an integral part of the forum. The “Kozak-Palace” exhibition center also hosts presentation of the trade show “Construction and Energy Saving”.

Last year, “InCo Forum-2018” gathered together representatives from over 50 countries, over 40 leading foreign and Ukrainian speakers, and over 800 participants – diplomatic communities, investors, and heads of communities, owners of businesses, top managers, and experts – at one platform. The event has been keeping the timeline of Zaporizhia international investment form (ZIIF), conducted annually in Zaporizhia, since 2007.
