Conference “BRIDGES BEYOND BORDERS: LEGAL PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UKRAINIANS IN THE UK”

Conference "BRIDGES BEYOND BORDERS: LEGAL PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UKRAINIANS IN THE UK"

On 30 October at 12:00 (Kyiv) / 10:00 (London), the international online conference "BRIDGES BEYOND BORDERS: LEGAL PATHWAYS AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR UKRAINIANS IN THE UK" will take place.

The conference is organised by Synergy Club (Ukraine) and Synergy Universe (United Kingdom) in partnership with Fairhill Solicitors (United Kingdom).

Life abroad for Ukrainians does not have to be reduced to adapting or simply trying to stay afloat. It can become the launching point for something bigger, creating your own opportunities, growing a business, integrating professionally and building a circle of like-minded people. Yet the path to this in the United Kingdom often raises countless questions: how do you legally register a business? Which visa should you choose? Where do you look for funding for your project?

These are exactly the questions that will be central to the BRIDGES BEYOND BORDERS conference, which will bring together legal expertise, practical experience and knowledge of grant opportunities in Britain.

Key questions for discussion:

- How can you start or relocate a business in the United Kingdom without getting lost in legal procedures? From registering a company to structuring international operations, practical advice from experts.

- What visa options exist for entrepreneurs and professionals? A breakdown of the differences between the Ukraine Scheme and business visas, and the possibilities of moving between statuses.

- How can you find grants and funding for your initiatives in Britain? Where to look for support, how to submit applications correctly and which mistakes Ukrainians make most often.

- What opportunities are available to Ukrainians inside Ukraine from the United Kingdom? Educational programmes, partnership projects, access to British foundations and the chance to take part in international initiatives without leaving Ukraine.

- How can the Ukrainian community become a resource for mutual support? Networking, partnerships and the exchange of experience as the foundation of successful integration.
