This 60-minute sit down will shine the spotlight on Ukraine’s efforts to preserve its rich cultural heritage, despite historic sites being targeted mercilessly and systematically destroyed since the onset of this full-fledged war, while also using media and outreach to both galvanize support for Ukraine as well as send a global message that Ukraine is open for business.
Davos participants will learn more about the groundbreaking partnership announced at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June 2022 between WPP and the Ukrainian government to attract investment into Ukraine and help rebuild its economy.
Panelists will also highlight the importance of promoting Ukrainian creative and cultural industries worldwide, creating Ukrainian digital content, Google Arts and Culture initiative “Ukraine is Here” and Ukrainian production experience with Netflix.
