During this first-ever visit to Washington State, the Governor will present on opportunities Dnipropetrovsk offers Greater Seattle professionals.
Once Alexander Vilkul took office as Governor he began working to improve Dnipropetrovsk’s economic development, ultimately securing the top slot in regional development ratings for Ukraine.
Dnipropetrovsk is the industrial heartland of Ukraine, and the Governor has been a big proponent for environmental causes, helping to alleviate the footprint caused by manufacturing. His platform also works to develop health care and public transportation.
The State of Dnipropetrovsk has secured a few large international investments and according to experts the region plans to attract $17 million in more investments. France, Poland, Russia and Austria visit the region often looking for economic opportunities.
