SUMMARY:JCC Roundtable examines priorities for infrastructure reconstruction in Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:The Joint Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Caucasus (JCC) finished out the year with an event dedicated to Ukraine. The JCC Ukraine Infrastructure Roundtable which took place on December 7, 2022 at MAN Energy Solutions, Zurich was a continuation of the discussion begun at the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2022) in Lugano. It was organized in partnership with leading Swiss and Ukrainian business organizations.\nURC Lugano set the stage for post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s energy, infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. The JCC Roundtable followed up on select URC topics by presenting current conditions in Ukraine, generally and in the infrastructure sector specifically. Irina Kucheruk, Head, Department for European Integration, International Cooperation and Investment Policy, Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine mapped out what has been damaged in transportation (rail, road, maritime), energy and housing, and the Ukrainian Government’s current plans and reconstruction priorities.\nThe Government of Ukraine is looking at the specific needs across the different regions this winter and beyond. Based on the highest priorities, tailored recovery and reconstruction plans are being developed to guide a program in each area. There will be a need for future assessments of damage, loss and reconstruction/recovery needs in Ukraine for which the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has committed financial support.\nThere is a lot of expertise that Swiss companies can bring to the reconstruction process, especially in the areas of transportation, energy and urban infrastructure (which includes building construction, water supply and waste management). In light of this, a second objective of the JCC Ukraine Infrastructure Roundtable was to understand how Swiss companies can prepare and get involved in the procurement process, as well as issues of funding and insurance that are integral to this effort.\nWhile the Roundtable raised some key issues, it is only a step in our program of events to inform the business community in Switzerland about conditions in Ukraine and how they can engage in supporting the country now and helping it to rebuild. Stay tuned for a full pipeline of JCC Ukraine online and offline events in 2023.\nPROGRAM\n15:30 – 15:35     JCC Welcome\nDorit Sallis, Managing Director, Joint Chamber of Commerce Switzerland-Eastern Europe, Central Asia, South Caucasus (JCC) & Event Moderator\n15:35 – 15:45    After the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2022: Update on Priorities and Next Steps\nH.E.
