On 12 and 13 November, the European Commission, together with Ukrainian authorities, will host the EU-Ukraine Investment Conference at the ReBuild Ukraine Expo in Warsaw. The conference, which will be opened by Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos and Ukraine’s Minister of Economy and Environment, Oleksandr Kravchenko, will bring together business leaders, investors and public officials to discuss key priorities to accelerate Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction and gradual integration into the EU Single Market.
The conference will feature a matchmaking programme, which, for the first time, will offer business-to-government meetings alongside business-to-business opportunities. This will give companies the opportunity to engage directly with potential business partners, financing institutions and public authorities, build new partnerships and explore concrete investment opportunities in Ukraine.
Commissioner Kos will take part in an EU-Ukraine Business Partnership Roundtable with CEOs and members of the Ukraine Donor Platform (UDP) Business Advisory Council and will meet with the Ukraine Facility Audit Board. She will also hold a bilateral meeting with Estonia’s Minister of Economy, Liina Vahtras, to advance preparations for the next Ukraine Recovery Conference, scheduled to take place in Tallinn in 2027.
Reforms will feature prominently in the discussions at the conference, as, beyond supporting Ukraine’s EU accession path, they are key to improving the business climate and advance gradual integration into the EU internal market, thus attracting sustainable private investments. In line with the recommendations of the 2026 Enlargement Package, progress on accession-related reforms, particularly in the areas of the rule of law, corporate governance and the fight against corruption will also help Ukrainian businesses become more competitive and better integrated into the European economy. Discussions will also focus on key priorities, including improving access to finance for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), strengthening the energy sector and supporting strategic industries, with a particular focus on dual-use technologies.
Together, these actions showcase the EU’s central role in supporting Ukraine and mobilising investment through the Ukraine Investment Framework, and reflect the EU’s continued commitment to supporting Ukraine’s recovery, reconstruction and modernisation, investing in its competitiveness, resilience and deeper integration into the European economy.
