THE LVIV REGION IN THE INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS




 

Throughout history foreign countries and companies had their representative offices in Lviv. Before World War II diplomatic representatives of 20 leading countries worked there. After the war the Soviet regime did everything possible to isolate the region from international life. (Since Ukraine is independent, Lviv has been growing into an international trading, scientific, cultural and industrial center. Now there are the Consulates General of Poland and Russia, the Consulates of the Netherlands, Austria and Canada, representative offices of international air lines, transport companies, manufacturing and trading firms.

The region takes an active part in student, professor and scientist exchange programmes with foreign educational and scientific institutions. Foreign musicians and theatre troupes often perform here and international art festivals are held.

Thorough economic research of the Lviv region has been conducted within the framework of European and American programmes. As a result, in 1992-1999, the volume of foreign investments considerably grew.

Two free economic zones -SEZ "Yavoriv" and "Kurortopolis Truskavets" have been operating in the Lviv region since the beginning of 1999.

Important European transport corridors pass through the region. The infrastructure of transport corridors Lisbon - Triest - Kyiv (motor transport and railway), Odessa - Gdansk (motor transport, railway, and pipeline) is now being improved. The development of the border - crossing points will enable them to increase the capacity up to 10 000 cars and trucks per day.

A great number of privatized enterprises in Western Ukraine attract attention of potential investors. In 1993 - 1996 the Demonstration Agricultural Project sponsored by the Dutch government was implemented in the Lviv region. The Dutch government plans to increase a number of projects for agricultural sector of the Lviv region. German, American, Canadian and French companies work successfully in different districts.
