European Investment Day. Regulatory Focus

Following the successful launch of Antitrust Day 2025 – a practical online workshop that brought together 100+ participants from Ukrainian and international companies operating in or expanding to the EU – IMPACTA LAW is launching the building on our regulatory-focused series .

For Ukrainian companies pursuing meaningful investments – including acquisitions, joint ventures, greenfield projects, or strategic capital deployment – in Western Europe, this new reality poses both regulatory and strategic challenges. Understanding when, where and how investment controls apply is now essential for any serious outward investment strategy.

Germany, France, Italy, and Spain are among the most strategically relevant EU destinations for Ukrainian investors – offering industrial scale, access to core EU markets, production partnerships and integration into European value chains.

Stay tuned!
