About Us
The U.S.-Ukraine Business Council (USUBC) was established in October 1995 to advance U.S. companies’ trade and investment interests in Ukraine’s significant emerging market. USUBC advocates for policies that improve bilateral trade and investment conditions while promoting strong, strategic ties between the two nations.
In pursuit of its mission, the Council collaborates closely with a wide range of organizations committed to deepening economic and business relationship between the United States and Ukraine.
