National Institutions

Official governmental institutions in Ukraine often serve as white pages when it comes to doing business as the economy is closely supervised by the government. In order to start business you need to go through a number of legal procedures at the corresponding state institutions to obtain needed permission, certificates and licenses. Doing business here is not always easy, but guaranteed to be exciting. The market opportunities range from agricultural and medical equipment to aircrafts and machinery, renewable energy, oil and gas production, computer software and services, pharmaceuticals and travel services.

Even though there may appear some obstacles, such as language barrier and significant differences between international and local standards, Ukraine’s white pages will come in handy. Below you can find links to the Ukrainian parliament Verkhovna Rada (to take account of the local laws), the ministries and major state agencies and services (for legal procedures).
