At the ReBuild Ukraine international exhibition and conference in Warsaw, the Lviv Invest Day: Key Projects event took place, at which Lviv presented three key infrastructure projects to investors and signed a number of letters of intent with foreign companies.
The event was organised by the Investment and Projects Department of the Lviv City Council. More than 200 representatives of Ukrainian and foreign businesses, financial institutions and investors took part.
This year’s Lviv Invest Day focused on the development of medical infrastructure and training specialists for critically important municipal systems. The city presented the following projects:
- Housing for oncology department patients. A residential building is planned for people who come to Lviv from other cities for long-term treatment. Lviv is developing this project jointly with the Japanese company Daiwa House. During the forum, letters of intent on supporting the project were signed with Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Nichiha and JK Holdings. The companies plan to provide heat pumps, air conditioning systems and construction materials.
- New UNBROKEN surgical building. Implementation of the project will increase the number of patient beds and expand treatment capacity, particularly in the fields of transplantology and cardiac surgery. To construct the building, Lviv plans to attract a private partner under a public-private partnership model, and the investor presentation was delivered by the International Finance Corporation (IFC).
- Training centre for the water supply and wastewater sector. The project is to be implemented with the support of the Government of the Netherlands to train specialists responsible for the stable operation of municipal infrastructure.
In addition to letters of intent with Japanese corporations, the forum also saw the signing of a memorandum with the Swedish company Folkhem on the construction of a student residence hall in Lviv.
“Lviv Invest Day: Key Projects is an opportunity to present the city’s projects directly to international businesses at one of the largest international exhibitions and conferences on Ukraine’s reconstruction — ReBuild Ukraine. This year in Warsaw, the event brought together more than 200 participants and there are already tangible results. Letters of intent for the housing project for oncology department patients have been signed with Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Nichiha and JK Holdings, as well as a memorandum with Sweden’s Folkhem on the construction of a student residence hall. Such agreements bring international experience and resources into projects that are crucial for Lviv,” said Andrii Pavliv, Head of the Investment and Projects Department of the Lviv City Council.
