Frankfurt Book Fair 2024

At this year’s Frankfurt book fair, SUPRR organized programs for academic publishers and for general publishers from Ukraine. SUPRR brought two representatives of the Taras Shevchenko National University to the fair to open networking and capacity development opportunities.

In partnership with the Ukraine country stand and Ukraine Book Institute SUPRR conducted a’speed dating’ exercise for Ukrainian publishers with foreign publishers and consultants. The event was a part of the professional program at the stand and welcomed twelve Ukrainian publishers and eight foreign representatives. Participants got to discuss topics like licensing, children books publishing, translation programs, market diversification, and present their book titles. This opportunity comes at a critical time when Ukraine is preparing for EU accession and integration while tackling the impacts of the war.

“The expertise and advice we heard were very valuable to me and my colleagues. Such meetings are rare, yet they are usually the game changers.”

“Participating in the speed-dating program at the Frankfurt Book Fair was an invaluable experience. It not only allowed me to connect with fellow publishing professionals in a dynamic setting but also sparked inspiring conversations that could lead to exciting collaborations” – Ukrainian participants shared.
