The VII Alumni Forum MIM Weekend was held in July, with more than 130 participating.

This year, the panel of speakers was very impressive. It included Roman Romanov, CEO of the State Concern Ukroboronprom, Ihor Smilansky, CEO of Ukrposhta, the national postal operator, Diallo Issa, vice president of the African Council in Ukraine, Dele Lavani Martens, president of the Nigerians in Ukraine Association and many others. Presentations made by experts were complemented by the Innovations Show.

“There are three reasons to come to the event,” Manzharova explains. “First of all, it is a good opportunity to keep an eye on what is going on and how it may work in the near future. Secondly, the Forum is very inspiring; it is a good driver to do things regardless of any obstacle. And thirdly, it is a nice way to keep in touch and enhance personal networks. The more people who share common values, objectives, visions and trust, the better they can make Ukraine a success.”
