The Professionals4Ukraine program brings together professionals from 17 countries to help Ukrainian clusters and their members meet the challenges of wartime and prepare for Ukraine’s recovery. The program is a key instrument of cluster internationalisation in the Ukrainian Cluster Alliance (UCA).

On 27 August, our foreign ambassadors from Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Romania and France meet with Western Ukrainian clusters and their partners in Lviv. 28–29 August, they arrive in Kyiv to meet with clusters from the Central and Eastern regions, as well as representatives of the Kyiv innovation ecosystem. 

This series of meetings is open for large categories of UCA’s partners and international organizations to demonstrate the potential of Ukrainian clusters and perspectives of collaboration in the Recovery of Ukraine programs.

The main topics in the discussions are specific projects and collaboration programs at the national and regional levels in the sectors of cross-border cooperation, incl. Energy, Defense industry, Infrastructure and Industrial high-tech sectors. There will also be our Resource Centers and clusters of UCA representing other sectors – agro-processing, medical, furniture and wood, circular economy, and IT. Visits to leading innovation parks, clusters, and EDIHs are also organised in Lviv and Kyiv.

These exchanges should shape our collaboration projects and better orient our partners regarding real situations, challenges and opportunities for collaboration with Ukrainian clusters.
