Abstract. The article is devoted to the study of the state and dynamics of investment processes (IP) in Ukraine, which is a prerequisite for organizations to acquire competence in the European market. The noted low level of foreign direct investment in Ukraine, the downward trend in investment income and their meager share in GDP (within 5%), which indicates the country’s weak integration into the international investment market, cause dubious prospects of achieving a level of competence sufficient for successful activity. Disproportions in the sectoral distribution of investments, their gravitation to industry (33,43% of the total), uneven regional distribution, their concentration in five regions (50%), deprive individual organizations of the opportunity to develop and increase their level of competence. The active participation of EU countries in the supply of investments to Ukraine (over 60%) indicates their interest in cooperation, but the instability of investment trends restrains the renewal of production, the implementation of scientific achievements, and the acquisition of competitive advantages by organizations.

The peculiarity of the research is the focus on studying the intensity of IP in the context of the impact on the development of organizations by expanding the possibilities of implementing the latest scientific and technical achievements, attracting world experience in the implementation of activities. The results are useful for managers, who, taking into account the main patterns of IP in Ukraine, will be able to assess the prospects of an organization to achieve a level of competence sufficient for successful activity on the European market.
