Ukrainian railways are the most powerful railway system in Europe, but to-date it has almost exhausted its service life and needs a radical update. Smooth operation of railway system is one of major drivers of the Ukrainian economy, and achieving this goal requires investment, prompting the State to look for investors.

With a view to creating a positive investment climate in Ukraine and attracting potential investors in railway industry, www.promgruz.com is holding the International conference “Ukrainian Railways: investment and development” which will be held on April 18, 2017 in the Premier Palace Hotel in Kyiv.
