A conference on insurance for SMEs — for owners and managers of small and medium-sized businesses
13 November 2026 · Kyiv
In person + live stream
Free participation
An association representing the majority of Ukraine's insurance market by premiums and claims paid, and an associate member of Insurance Europe.
The event is held with the support of the STEP IN 2 EU international cooperation programme, co-financed by the governments of Germany and Norway, the European Union under the EU4Business initiative, and the governments of Lithuania and Estonia. The programme is implemented by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH.
The programme aims to support Ukrainian public institutions in advancing the EU accession process in the economic chapters, and to create better economic conditions and financial opportunities for Ukrainian companies, enabling them to benefit further from integration into the EU single market.
● A damaged warehouse or equipment
● Cargo that never arrived
● A production stoppage
● An employee injury
● A claim from a counterparty
For a large company this is an inconvenience. For a small or medium-sized business it is often a question of survival. Yet insurance is still seen as an unnecessary expense rather than as a risk-management tool and a precondition for access to loans, investment and partnerships.
We have organised this event to look at the specifics: what exactly can be protected, how it works under wartime conditions, and which of an entrepreneur's problems it solves.
200+ participants in person, plus a live stream for the regions. Around one table — entrepreneurs, government representatives, invited EU experts and leading insurance companies. One day, four substantive blocks.
War risks, disrupted logistics, limited access to financing — this is the reality Ukrainian business operates in. We discuss not insurance theory, but instruments available today.
The B2B zone and consultation points run all day. Put your questions directly to insurance-company representatives, without intermediaries and without any obligations.
