A grand charity evening – the Fête de la Musique – took place in the capital of Ukraine, organized by the Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU) together with the Embassy of France in Ukraine. The event, held in the best French traditions, was timed to coincide with the international Fête de la Musique and had a charitable purpose – to raise funds in support of the National Rehabilitation Center UNBROKEN Ukraine.
According to the organizers, the donations collected will be directed to renovating the rehabilitation department for patients with spinal cord injuries.
The concert featured the well-known Ukrainian pianist Yevhen Khmara, the orchestra Svitlo Concert, as well as the popular Ukrainian band TVORCHI, who became the main guests of the evening. The event brought together representatives of the business community, the diplomatic corps and the cultural elite of Ukraine and France.
“This is an event about strength, solidarity and art, which demonstrates the unity of the Franco-Ukrainian community in the hardest times for Ukraine,” the Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU) said.
CCIFU stressed that the Fête de la Musique also gave the Chamber's member companies an opportunity to express support for those in need of help and once again confirm the importance of corporate social responsibility.
The Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU), founded in 1994 as the association of the French business community in Ukraine and part of the network of French chambers of commerce and industry since 2011, today unites more than 150 French and French-managed companies from the most diverse sectors of the economy.
The board of directors is managed by an elected Board of seven members and is funded by membership fees without state funding
The Franco-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry is a key player in business cooperation between France and Ukraine. Over 30 years of activity, it has built a community of 150 companies and operates as an institutional partner for business, implementing initiatives in the agricultural sector and the investment sphere, as well as social and cultural projects, and also strengthens the investment climate.
CCIFU's effectiveness is confirmed by the resilience of its members on the Ukrainian market even during the war: no company has left the country, and many continue to expand and invest thanks to the Chamber's support and partnership with state bodies and foreign financial organizations.
