She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/anna.gvozdiar\/posts\/pfbid0285tdjsYNGuUP7Mr3iUKseTutFmAkXv78mvcTEkbFGnzYMqUbdQSDDUC2hczg4LVRl?locale=uk_UA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">wrote<\/a> about the initiatives the Office is working on, including a draft law on foreign investment screening, the creation of a pool of investment requests from Ukrainian manufacturers of weapons and military equipment, and the Smart Force Academy training programme. Defender Media highlights the key points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Draft law on foreign investment screening<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hvozdiar, the draft law on foreign investment screening will help establish clear rules of the game on the market: the state must understand who is entering strategic assets, with what ownership structure and with what motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cScreening is not about bans, but about transparent verification of an investor\u2019s integrity and the origin of capital,\u201d she writes. \u201cThis approach has long been the standard in the United States and EU countries, and we are consistently moving towards harmonisation with European practice.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hvozdiar noted that the next step will be consideration of the draft law by the relevant parliamentary committee and preparation for the first reading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pool of investment requests from Ukrainian manufacturers<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Deputy Minister noted that the Investment Support Office has already collected more than 50 initial investment requests from Ukrainian manufacturers of weapons and military equipment. Companies can submit their requests via a <a href=\"https:\/\/forms.office.com\/Pages\/ResponsePage.aspx?id=mPJGqmSnxkuKuzEwtX7luNsqtJ4yyihBjN7TGGtzuxRUM0Q5UlU5TVE0MFhCM1hEMVhOWkQ3REVURC4u&amp;origin=QRCode&amp;fbclid=IwY2xjawPR2D9leHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETE3eXVOcGozUTFjd1JlejRic3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHni7NBaiTE2LpVb5-kZe7f8iHshood5zZxcmsSD7D_E7C6lRGnSnIvKjzQTG_aem_aAjgSxxT7XbNPEhhz-ssAg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">dedicated link<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to Hvozdiar, the Ministry of Defence has also established systematic cooperation with the UkraineInvest platform, a state institution that works with investors. The platform will help Ukrainian projects find investors more quickly and be ready for international venues as early as 2026. \u201cOne example is that together we are preparing an update to the investment pool for the Ukraine Recovery Conference, starting from February\u2013March this year,\u201d Hvozdiar writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Force Academy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An educational platform for executives and teams of defence companies that helps businesses prepare to attract investment. <a href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2025\/06\/smart-force-academy-opening\/\">Smart Force Academy<\/a> was launched by the Ministry of Strategic Industries in the summer of 2025, together with the Kyiv School of Economics. Later, the Ministry of Strategic Industries was dissolved, and Hanna Hvozdiar moved from there to the Ministry of Defence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHere, manufacturers work on strategy, scaling, and, in particular, the high-quality preparation of investment projects and pitches,\u201d Hvozdiar writes. \u201cThis is a necessary condition for dialogue with investors to be professional, substantive, and effective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Deputy Minister\u2019s view, all these instruments are designed to allow manufacturers to grow, scale up, and deliver results for the Ukrainian military.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Office has already developed a draft law on foreign investment screening that will make it possible to vet investors in strategic enterprises<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":3539,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"pmpro_default_level":"","_featured_category_order":0,"_article_badge":"featured","footnotes":""},"categories":[31,1],"tags":[600,1728,1454,1803],"class_list":["post-20455","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-investments","category-state","tag-hanna-hvozdiar","tag-investments","tag-kse","tag-mod","pmpro-has-access"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>\u0427\u0438\u043c \u0437\u0430\u0439\u043c\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u041e\u0444\u0456\u0441 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0456\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u0438 \u041c\u0456\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Office has already developed a draft law on foreign investment screening that will make it possible to vet investors in strategic enterprises.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/01\/investment-support-office-mod\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u0427\u0438\u043c \u0437\u0430\u0439\u043c\u0430\u0454\u0442\u044c\u0441\u044f \u041e\u0444\u0456\u0441 \u043f\u0456\u0434\u0442\u0440\u0438\u043c\u043a\u0438 \u0456\u043d\u043d\u043e\u0432\u0430\u0446\u0456\u0439 \u043f\u0440\u0438 \u041c\u0456\u043d\u043e\u0431\u043e\u0440\u043e\u043d\u0438\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The Office has already developed a draft law on foreign investment screening that will make it possible to vet investors in strategic enterprises.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/en\/2026\/01\/investment-support-office-mod\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Defender Media\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-01-12T14:22:46+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-01-12T14:27:34+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/thedefender.media\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/dsc6214.webp\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1000\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"666\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/webp\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Roman Sudolsky\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@DefenderMediaUA\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Roman Sudolsky\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/investment-support-office-mod\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/2026\\\/01\\\/investment-support-office-mod\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Roman Sudolsky\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/thedefender.media\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/b4d6ff05eda30710a1bc9d9d48fbb70c\"},\"headline\":\"The Ministry of Defence launched the Investment Support Office.
