On 1-2 November, around 100 entrepreneurs from Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts will present their businesses at the East Expo 2018 exhibition in Lviv, part of the XVIII International Economic Forum.

East Expo 2018 aims to support small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, disseminate information about business opportunities and boost business contacts between Ukrainian entrepreneurs.

The key event in East Expo 2018 will be the showcasing of businesses from eastern Ukraine that are continuing to thrive despite economic and political challenges. Exhibition goers will see agricultural products, salt-based products and pottery, IT technology, 3D printers, clay stoves, clothing, eco-products, and much more.

Business owners, managers, investors, representatives of international organizations, officials and community leaders from all over the country will come to Lviv to find new business partnerships and clients from different parts of Ukraine, as well as Poland and other EU countries.

In addition, East Expo 2018 goers will have an opportunity to learn more about export opportunities to EU countries, improve their knowledge of business processes and attend panel discussions, presentations and thematic workshops focused on economic and investment prospects in Lviv, Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.

During the two days, exhibition goers will vote for the best business presented at the exhibition, which will receive an award.
