This is the place where foreign investors will get full support of the authorities to establish and build new companies. MAKSIM KOZYTSKI DIRECTOR ECO OPTIMA LLC ECO OPTIMA Company welcomes the creation of investment policy department. In terms of doing this business there was an urgent need for the establishment of a public authority, which would accompany the investment projects. Since the beginning of the department operation, investors feel that local authority is waiting and want to see them in Lviv region. This, in turn, gave us confidence, reliability and stability in the implementation of our projects. In addition, we express gratitude for the support in the wind farm construction project in Staryi Sambir, which we have implemented by joint efforts. SERHIY LENCHUK DIRECTOR GALICIA GREENERY LLC The decision to build a greenhouse complex exactly in Lviv Region was made before the first signs of conflict appeared in the east of the country. The investor came here first of all in the search of the client — for providing customers with quality and fresh vegetables and to shorten time of transportation. Such factors as the developed infrastructure — roads, airport, availability of skilled workers and willingness of local authorities to overcome together bureaucratic barriers also became decisive for construction of the complex in the Lviv region. Of course, geographic location became a positive factor as well because of proximity to the border with the EU. Certainly, battle actions in the east areas of the country negatively affect the investment climate of the country on the whole. However, location of the Lviv region in the distance over 1000 kilometers from the conflict zone is one of the factors that add confidence to the investors. We are convinced that only cooperation between enterprises and government will further enhance the investment attractiveness of Ukraine and hope that Lviv region will become a leader in business development. #INVESTINLVIVREGION JÖRGEN CEDERHOLM DIRECTOR DANISH TEXTILES Road infrastructure of Sokal District at the border territory of Lviv​​ Region promotes formation and efficient use of investment and financial support, socio-economic progress in the development of the Region. Repairing the road in the direction to Chervonohrad increases the investment attraction of Sokal District, provides fast and convenient access to entities of production capacity. NAZAR PRYTULA DIRECTOR DIAL-MARKET Undoubtedly road and engineering infrastructure is one of the first and the main factors in choosing the areas for investment. In this context, engineering and road infrastructure in Lviv region is very successful for industrial enterprises engaged in foreign economic activity. It should be noted that the improvement process of road infrastructure in the region, which began in preparation for Euro 2012 not only didn’t stop, but also significantly increased its volumes. This is due to the new enacted legislative acts which are stimulating this sphere of activity and relationship of management of the region to this important issue. ANDREA BIANCO DIRECTOR CONTINENTAL FARMERS GROUP Ukraine is a very interesting country, and especially Lviv region because it has many perspectives. Here are fantastic land and unique people who have been working in agriculture since time immemorial — incredibly winning combination.
