Brussels will host Kyiv Investment Forum 2023 on November 16. This year the event will focus "on long-term strategies for the sustainable recovery and development of the Ukrainian capital, as well as its integration into the global economic space," Kyiv City State Administration (KCSA) has said in a press release.

"The forum will take place in Brussels on November 16 and will bring together city leaders, European and Ukrainian politicians, leading economists, investors and urbanists," the city administration said in a statement on Wednesday, quoting the Economy and Investment Department, which is the organizer of the event.

The forum's main session will reportedly focus on Europe's changing geopolitical landscape and the growing importance of megacities. Participants will consider the challenges associated with conflicts and wars, emphasizing the value of sustainable development and reconstruction of war-affected communities. It will include four panel discussions and two sections on challenges and problems in both war and post-war times.

The Forum will also include a discussion panel on investment in transformation, in particular on business ecosystems and innovation clusters.

"A separate discussion will be devoted to the issue of restoring the mental health of the population, social integration and adaptation of veterans and people affected by the war," the message says.
