      Side Event «Investing in Ukraine at Scale: The Private Capital Equation for Ukraine» is cohosted by KPMG and Horizon Capital and brings together private equity investors, IFIs and DFIs, corporates and advisors to move beyond highlevel narratives and focus on the practical realities of deploying capital in Ukraine today. The discussion will centre on deal execution, risk mitigation, capital sequencing and realistic growth pathways.

      Our focus will be the role of private capital in reconstruction — exploring how to invest, execute, and scale, fostering resilience and sustainable growth despite wartime conditions.

      Your Business in Ukraine

      According to the sixth KPMG CEO Outlook in Ukraine, part of an annual global survey of business leaders that KPMG first conducted 10 years ago, the level of CEO confidence in the country's growth prospects in 2024 had increased compared to where they were in 2022: up from 44% to 46%. For more context, this figure is more than twice as high as 2020, where CEO growth confidence was a mere 20%. 

      Despite the impact of Russia’s full-scale invasion and the ensuing geopolitical and economic uncertainty, Ukrainian business has demonstrated unprecedented resilience and continues to grow, with a market that is more open to investment than ever.

      In such times, navigating the Ukrainian business landscape can be complex but also rewarding, and our guidance can give you the clarity you need to take on both challenges and opportunities. 

      We offer a comprehensive guide to help you deal with issues such as how to start a business in Ukraine, what you need to know about tax regulations, how currency restrictions might affect your business, how to insure your company against war risks, what the rules are regarding investment legislation, how to obtain all the necessary licences and permits, and many other useful insights that will help you simplify your business decisions. 

      Our Impact Plan

      KPMG International launched annual reporting in 2021 that consolidates and presents data on the collective ESG commitments and expectations for independent KPMG firms within the KPMG International family: Our Impact Plan.

      Every two years, KPMG in Ukraine presents its local Sustainability Report: an integral part of annual reporting that reflects our progress towards achieving UN Sustainable Development Goals.  

      Our Impact Plan outlines the KPMG network's commitments to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues in four categories: governance, people, planet, and prosperity, reporting on our progress against benchmarks from the World Economic Forum (WEF) and International Business Council (IBC).

      KPMG regularly publishes information about how we work for our clients, improve audit quality, fulfil our environmental, social, and governance (ESG) commitments, and promote inclusion and diversity within our network of companies.

      German-CEE Business Outlook

      Despite the ongoing war, Ukraine remains on German investors’ radar, ranking second among the CEE countries most frequently mentioned in companies’ investment plans. This is according to the German-Central and Eastern European Business Outlook 2026 (German-CEE Business Outlook), which KPMG in Germany has compiled together with the Committee on Eastern European Economic Relations. The publication is based on a survey of 115 companies, which was conducted between 24 November 2025 and 13 January 2026.

      Cybersecurity considerations 2026

      Cybersecurity is no longer solely an IT responsibility—it is now a core element of business strategy. The KPMG International report “Cybersecurity Considerations 2026,” developed with technology partners, outlines eight areas set to shape cybersecurity priorities in the year ahead.

      Artificial intelligence is at the heart of this shift. It strengthens cyber defense through faster threat detection and automated response, while also giving attackers new tools to scale and sharpen their operations. Combined with rising geopolitical tensions, fragmented regulation, and the growing use of non-human identities, this is making the cyber threat landscape more complex than ever.

In a volatile environment, the report offers essential insights to anticipate risks and capture new opportunities.
