EU’s Enlargement Commissioner to advance Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction, and modernisation at EU-Ukraine Investment Conference

On 13-14 November, the European Commission, together with the Ukrainian authorities, is hosting the EU-Ukraine Investment Conference at the ReBuild Ukraine Expo in Warsaw. 

The event brings together business leaders, investors and public officials to accelerate Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction and gradual integration into the EU Single Market.

Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos will open the conference alongside Ukraine’s Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, Oleksii Sobolev. They will also present instruments and programmes under the expanded Ukraine Investment Framework, targeting key sectors such as energy, water management, housing and support for small farmers.

For the first time, the conference will extend the Ukraine Investment Framework to strategic industries that reinforce the country’s resilience and defence capabilities. New financing tools will be introduced for companies engaged in dual-use production, such as next-generation drone manufacturing, advanced navigation and communication systems, aeronautical and space technologies, and critical metallurgical capacities.

“Reforms will also feature prominently in the discussions, as they are key to attracting sustainable private investment and supporting Ukraine’s path towards EU accession,” the EU’s Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighbourhood (DG ENEST) said in a statement. “In line with the recommendations set out in the EU’s latest enlargement report for Ukraine, progress on key accession-related reforms, notably in the rule of law, corporate governance, and the fight against corruption, will be essential to build investor confidence, strengthen the business climate, and unlock the full potential of the Ukraine Investment Framework.”

Building on the momentum of the Ukraine Recovery Conference held in Rome last July, the Commission will provide updates on the European Flagship Fund for the Reconstruction of Ukraine, the central instrument for mobilising investment in the country’s long-term modernisation.
