Security of Foreign Economic Activity and Fraud Protection: ICC Ukraine and SIDCON Held a Practical Webinar for Exporters

On June 3, 2026, the Ukrainian National Committee of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Ukraine), in cooperation with the leading consulting company “SIDCON”, held an online webinar titled “Security of Foreign Economic Activity of Companies.” The event broughtmapSize Ukrainian entrepreneurs, heads of FEA departments, corporate lawyers, financiers, and representatives of corporate security services who are planning expansion into foreign markets or are already engaged in international activities.

• Market accessibility and analysis: a methodology for researching foreign markets, weighing potential risks and commercial prospects.

• Countering international fraud: legal and financial aspects of the security of contractual relations with foreign partners.

• Counterparty verification: a detailed breakdown of real cases and partner audit algorithms in the formats “before” signing a contract and “after” problems are detected.

• Competitive intelligence: the role of applied intelligence as a central element in protecting the interests of Ukrainian companies when operating in new territories.
