As Chairman of Istil Group and Publisher of the Kyiv Post I would like to welcome you to the second annual Tiger Conference. The timing of the conference could hardly fall at a more fi tting mo-ment, just days after the Eastern Partnership Summit in Vilnius, Lithuania. The outcome of discussions may not be what many hoped for, but this is undeniably a critical juncture for Ukraine, its citizens and its future.All of those who are gathered here today believe in Ukraine. Its people, natural resources and strategic geographic position are the key ingredients for an independent and promising future. At the same time, Ukraine’s tumultuous history and current chal-lenges mean that achieving this bright goal is no easy task. More than ever, the country needs positive partners in the business community to help it move forward.No conference can answer all the questions and fi nd a miraculous solution to all of Ukraine’s problems. There are simply no secret formulas — it will take a lot of hard work, integrity and a result-ori-ented attitude from all. I believe that only through inspired dia-logue and persistent cooperation between public leaders, interna-tional experts and the private sector we can build a better Ukraine.Thank you for your active participation in the conference.

Last year the Kyiv Post’s fi rst Tiger Conference asked the question of whether Ukraine’s economy could shift gears and become an East European tiger economy. The answer appears to be “not yet.” This year’s conference “Ukraine’s Future After the Vilnius Summit?” ex-plores an even more important theme: Where is Ukraine headed and what is its place in the world?In recent weeks we have witnessed extraordinary events involv-ing Ukraine, from the collapse talks with the European Union to the biggest protests since the Orange Revolution in 2004. There were also major breakthroughs for businesses: the signing of the Open Skies agreement and two major production sharing agree-ments with Western energy fi rms. This all reminds us just how dynamic, but also how tempestuous Ukraine can be. As those who live and work in Ukraine know, this is a country fraught with risks but also plentiful in opportunities.Ukraine’s oldest English-language publication, the Kyiv Post is also one of few independent media outlets in the country, with a reputation for excellence in reporting and tenacity in pursuing the truth. We are also a community newspaper, bringing together those who want to see Ukraine live free and prosper. Our annual conferences provide a forum for lively debate and informative analysis, but also a chance to convene with friends, colleagues and prospective partners.Thank you all for coming, have an enjoyable and enlightening day.
