The event is organized by PJSC "Ukrfinzhytlo" and the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine.
The forum’s general partner is the Ukrainian Association of Developers.

The forum aims to establish a shared vision for the development of mortgage lending, expand access to affordable mortgages, and create effective financial instruments that will contribute to Ukraine’s economic recovery.
