This shows very clearly why Odesa is so important for 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗱𝗲, 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 and the future reconstruction of Ukraine.

Markus Ciupek had the pleasure to meet in #Odesa with Anna Khokholkova , Head of Foreign Economic Relations at the Одеська регіональна торгово-промислова палата/ Odesa Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry, representing the Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce.

We discussed how to further develop cooperation between Czech and Ukrainian businesses and which sectors are currently the most relevant for the Odesa region:
⚓ 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗿𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲
🏭 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
🌾 𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴
💡 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘄𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲𝘀
💧 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴
🏗️ 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

For hashtag#Czech companies, hashtag#Odesa is exactly the kind of region where 𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹, 𝗹𝗼𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗰𝘀, 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆, 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 expertise can create real practical value.

This meeting was also a continuation of our previous activities in Odesa.
Last year, Michaela MACHARIK and I organized a 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 𝗶𝗻 𝗢𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗮 for Ukrainian companies interested in the Czech and European markets. We also prepared a 𝘄𝗲𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗮 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻, supported by the Regional Development Agency of Odesa Region and the Odesa Regional Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Now the goal is clear:
To 𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝘁𝘆, to 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 and to turn regional potential into 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.
Because Ukraine’s recovery will not be built only in capitals.

It will be built through 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗲𝘀, 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 and 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 who are ready to work together.
