Capital Concentration: an Accessible and Engaging Look at the Fundamental Drivers of Economic Development
General Information
Active collaboration with industry professionals is a vital foundation for training competitive specialists who can meet the demands of a labour market that is constantly changing and transforming amid economic instability. It has become a tradition to invite top-level experts to deliver guest lectures to SUTE students as part of the “21st Century Competition” and “Synergy of Industry Markets” academic clubs. Dmytro Halchynskyi, Head of the Corporate Transactions and Intellectual Property Practice at Metinvest Holding, delivered a guest lecture on May 5, 2026, on the topic “Capital Concentration: Regulatory Requirements and Opportunities for the Development of Corporate Entrepreneurship”. The lecturer outlined the general requirements for transactions that result in capital concentration, identified the directions in which they are conducted, pointed out a number of goals that merger and acquisition parties seek to achieve, analysed the impact on competition, examined industry-specific aspects of deal-making, and identified the risks of market monopolisation.
In his lecture, Mr Dmytro focused on specific case studies of capital-concentration transactions carried out by Metinvest – an international, vertically integrated group of companies comprising mining and metallurgical enterprises in Ukraine, Europe, and the United States. In a way that captivated the students, the lecturer highlighted that Metinvest controls the entire production chain—from ore and coal mining to the production of semi-finished and finished products—and that its network of sales and service offices, as well as distribution centres, spans over 80 countries worldwide. At the end of the lecture, attendees had the opportunity to hear substantive answers to numerous questions regarding the practice of implementing capital concentration agreements in Ukraine and globally, the prospects for increasing the investment attractiveness of the Ukrainian economy in the context of post-war recovery, and employment opportunities for SUTE students at Metinvest.
The Department of Economics and Competition Policy and the students of SUTE thank Dmytro Halchynskyi for the engaging lecture, the friendly atmosphere, and the opportunity to broaden their horizons in the field of capital concentration
