ABOUT THIS WEBCASTRegister
On February 2nd, Ukraine and the European Union signed an agreement on Ukraine’s participation in the Single Market Program. The European Union’s Single Market Program is a financial support initiative of the EU with a budget of 4.2 billion EUR, designed for 7 years (from 2021 to 2027). Ukraine’s accession to this program will strengthen Ukraine’s business sector as well as cooperation with the EU, which is especially important in view of the European integration processes and Ukraine’s EU candidate status.
Taking the opportunity, at this debate we will look into Ukrainian SME landscape and what are the needs of local SME community as well as explore the best ways of coordination of the EU-Ukraine partnership.
