The event created a new meeting point between international capital and regional stakeholders, with discussions ranging from infrastructure and energy to real estate, logistics and Ukraine's reconstruction. EastGate's objective extends beyond the event itself: the initiative will continue with the development of the EastGate Investment Pipeline 2027, aimed at identifying and preparing concrete opportunities for investors.
