Participation in the IZB exhibition with a booth is essential not only for our members but also for Ukraine's automotive industry and the country as a whole!"—with these words, Olga Trofymova, Cluster Manager of the Ukrainian Automotive and Mobility Cluster, began her welcome speech.

"Despite challenging conditions, we continue to supply products to Volkswagen plants. We are proud to represent resilient Ukrainian enterprises ready for cooperation," added Andriy Matsykhin, CEO of Fujikura Automotive Ukraine and a board member of the Ukrainian Automotive and Mobility Cluster.

We are delighted to welcome all our participants from Lviv, Stryi, Kyiv, as well as those who came from Chernihiv, Dnipro, and Mykolaiv.

During the exhibition opening, Joseph Schulze Sathoff, head of IZB, emphasized the importance of open collaboration and adapting business models: "Good partnership makes us good people."

Dirk Grosse-Loheide, head of procurement for Volkswagen Group, highlighted the significance of strategic partnerships, increased competitiveness, and sustainability: "Partnership is only possible in both directions and requires responsibility from both sides. Quality communication is key to successful cooperation."

The automotive industry is a driving force behind progress in developed countries, and each of our cluster members works daily to develop Ukraine's economy.

Our heartfelt thanks to our partners and friends who joined us for the Opening Ceremony.

Let’s internationalize together!
