According to the level of domestic investment in energy efficiency industry, Kharkiv region ranks first in Ukraine, announced the chairman of Kharkiv Regional State Administration (KRSA) Igor Rainin during a meeting with the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Austria in Ukraine Hermine Poppeller.

“Since 2010, Ukraine has no program for the development of mechanical engineering, a lot of inconsistencies in organizational and structural work with the industrial complex. It is very important that all the problems associated with the development of the industrial complex have solutions in Ukraine, as well as support of these solutions from Europe,” stated Igor Rainin.
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Austria in Ukraine noted that in Europe, Ukraine is considered as a very promising country in terms of industrial development.

“According to the domestic investment resources invested in improving energy efficiency of enterprises, Kharkiv region ranks first in Ukraine.
