On May 4, 2020, a webinar on investment from the USAID Enterprise Competitiveness Project took place. Mr. Mark Zubov, an investment expert at CrossBoundary delivered the online presentation.

Participants learned about the conditions of cooperation, requirements for companies and application, stages of partnership, as well as other important information.
