The 4th International Cooperation Forum (IC Forum) on economic development was held on 27 and 28 February 2025 at ETH Zurich.
This time, more than 1,500 people took part in person and online in the fourth edition of the International Cooperation Forum (IC Forum), dedicated to economic development.
S&Yu Company was represented by the company's director - Yulia Matyushkina.
The focus of the various events of the forum was on the topic of economic development, namely the joint study of approaches and problem solving for a sustainable future.
One of the key topics of the forum was the issue of post-war renewal of Ukraine: private sector initiatives for a sustainable Ukraine.
For Switzerland, supporting Ukraine and its reconstruction process is of great importance. However, reconstruction in Ukraine is associated with challenges that go beyond traditional international cooperation. The private sector will therefore play an important role. Against this background, Switzerland intends to allocate around CHF 500 million for activities involving the Swiss private sector in the period 2025-2028.
The next event will take place on 26 and 27 February 2026 in Geneva and will focus on humanitarian aid.
