Expocenter of Ukraine (VDNH) (Ukrainian: Експоцентр України (ВДНГ)), originally known as Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy of Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian: Виставка досягнень народного господарства УРСР) or VDNH of Ukrainian SSR (Ukrainian: ВДНГ УРСР), is a permanent multi-purpose exhibition complex in the Teremky neighborhood of Kyiv, Ukraine. Located on the outskirts of the Holosiiv Forest, a large portion of which has been converted into a park zone, the expo specializes in demonstrating Ukrainian achievements in the sphere of industry, science etc.
It is legally under the State Management of Affairs but is not financed from the state budget at all. The Expocenter of Ukraine has been functioning since 1958. The exhibition features about 100 companies.
