🙌We live in times not only of great challenges, but also of great opportunities. Ukraine's support programs help us gain useful experience and build new ties with European partners.

Last week, within the framework of the EU4Business program, representatives of the Chernivtsi City Council, the Department of Socio-Economic Development and Strategic Planning, small and medium-sized businesses of Chernivtsi and representatives of the Chernivtsi IT Cluster visited to the city of Metz, France, in order to develop partnerships between the municipalities and businesses of our sister cities. The executor of the project is the Association of Cities of Ukraine in partnership with GIZ.

✨ During the 3 days of the visit, there were many meetings and events, exchange of experience not only with representatives of Metz, but also of Chernivtsi business, familiarization with the work of an energy enterprise, business incubator, technology park, creative hub and much more both official and informal meetings, each of which testifies to close friendly ties at the level of our municipalities, and openness to cooperation in various fields.

Once again, they were convinced that where the government is actually a part of the community, where the population honestly pays taxes (and quite a few), you get roads, education, hospitals, incubators, creative spaces, help for entrepreneurship, and in the end you have a prosperous community where you want to live and work for you and your children.

❤️We hope for further close cooperation, for joint projects that will give a new impetus to the development of our region and the IT industry in particular.​​
