The UFU team joined the World Economic Forum in Davos to put Ukraine in the spotlight

A few weeks ago, the UFU team joined the World Economic Forum in Davos to put Ukraine in the spotlight of many discussions and reinforce the need for continuous support amidst the “Ukraine fatigue”. We spoke to leaders and decision-makers from the world of business, media, arts, politics, and philanthropy, shaping their thinking about the importance of this moment of history and their ability to co-shape it by helping Ukraine in all possible ways.

Davos offered an excellent opportunity to find new allies for our mission and get feedback on the unique impact pillars we are developing toward recovery support. Both our Recovery Platform and “Women Lead” initiative received overwhelming encouragement. We will share more information about these initiatives very soon and, in the meantime, work on following up on all conversations to make sure they translate into actionable support.

This week was also a fantastic opportunity to meet other organisations working on helping Ukraine to withstand and win. Through participation in three panels, we connected with Nataliya Kozak Klaverstijn from Impact Force, Yuliia Karnas and Lars Karbe from One Ukraine, Lucas Kuziv, CFA, from Enkidu, Filip Sobiecki from Tech To The Rescue, Alina Nosenko from PHINEO gAG. They all have different angles aimed at supporting Ukrainians in other areas and inspiring a joint effort of civil society with the scale of an impact.
