Ukraine cannot rebuild its economy on foreign investment alone.

Trade, technology transfer and equipment supply may come first. EU membership is a strategic necessity. And Ukraine needs its own agenda for partnerships with the US, Europe and global markets.

What role can Ukraine play in the global economy after the war?

Economist and diplomat Mykhailo Bno-Ayriyan discusses this in a new interview with UIF.

🇺🇦 Ukraine is fighting for its survival. But we cannot afford to think only about survival.

What kind of economy will we build? How will we address the demographic crisis? What will bring millions of Ukrainians home? How can we attract global investment?

One year ago, the Ukrainian Institute for the Future and CEO Club Ukraine presented Ukraine Vision 2035 to address these questions.

Because planning for the future is part of building it.

⚡️ Ukraine’s electricity market price fell by 23% in October, while gas reserves reached a six-year high of 16 bcm.

Yet Russian attacks, growing Ukrenergo debts and export disruptions continue to put pressure on the energy system.

What’s behind these trends?

What should Ukrainians do today to be ready for the next 10 years?

Most people and businesses make decisions based on the past. But preparing for the future requires a different mindset: the ability to anticipate change, imagine new possibilities and act before the future becomes reality.

In a new interview for the Ukrainian Institute for the Future, futurist, entrepreneur and strategist Andrii Dligach explains why Ukraine needs to move from reactive thinking to strategic future-building.

Some of the questions we explore:
— Why do Ukrainian entrepreneurs struggle to dream big?
— How does paternalism hold society back and reproduce populism?
— What could Ukraine offer Europe beyond security: could it become an innovation sandbox and a gateway for Asian and Indian businesses into the EU?
— What will define Ukraine's place in the world by 2035?
— And what should Ukrainians invest in now — health, education, new professional skills, or stronger communities?

One of the key messages: the future is not something we simply wait for. It is something we build — through individual choices, business decisions and collective action.
