EU launches call for EU companies to invest in Ukraine recovery and reconstruction

At the first EU-Ukraine Investment Conference, which started on 13 November, the European Union has launched a call for expressions of interest to mobilise EU private investment in critical areas to support Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts.

Proposals will be reviewed and matched with the most suitable investment projects funded under the Ukraine Investment Framework, which is an integral pillar of the EUR 50 billion Ukraine Facility. The call will be open until 1 March 2025. By encouraging business partnerships and the involvement of the EU private sector in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction, the EU also supports Ukraine’s further integration into the EU single market.

Olivér Várhelyi, Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, commented: “Ukraine’s reconstruction requires public funding and partnerships with the private sector. By combining these efforts we can maximise investment, support the country’s recovery and its gradual integration into the EU’s single market. Indeed, encouraging private sector involvement in Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction process will be key to its success.

The first EU-Ukraine Investment Conference, organised on 13-14 November in Warsaw in the framework of the ^4th international exhibition ReBuild Ukraine, brings together more than 5,000 participants from Ukraine, the EU and other countries to mobilise private investment for the recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of Ukraine.

Since the beginning of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, the EU has made available almost €122 billion in financial, humanitarian and military assistance to Ukraine to meet the needs of Ukrainians in the EU. More information can be found in the web publication and in the factsheets on solidarity with Ukraine and the investment framework.
