US-UA Business Networking Series: Forum

"US-UA Business Networking Series: Forum" was hosted on March 30/31, 2005 in New York City. The two-day event brought together experts from the corporate and academic world as well as key government representatives of Ukraine and Ukraine's various partners/neighbors to evaluate the nation's ability to advantageously compete in the global economic arena. It was held at a very critical moment in Ukraine's history: in a period of time when Ukraine was recording double digit economic growth and in the immediate aftermath of an election that brought to power a leadership committed to the 'rule of law' and to 'market economics'.
