URC2025: key signals for businesses, municipalities, and investors

On July 10–11, Rome hosted the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025, a key international event that demonstrated that reconstruction is already underway and that the agenda includes not only critical infrastructure but also private investment, defense technologies, logistics, energy, and municipal development.

Here are some important signals for those who already work in Ukraine or are just planning to invest:

• the EU has approved a €2.3 billion financing package, which includes guarantees and grants and is expected to attract up to €10 billion in investments in various areas;
• new instruments have been introduced to support renewable energy, including investments in more than 1.5 GW of capacity and financial guarantees for private investors;
• international financial institutions are creating joint funds to support infrastructure, innovative technologies, and the development of the digital economy;
• over €100 million will be allocated to the development of municipal services through national banks and public-private partnership projects;
• the defense industry has been officially recognized as a priority area for investment, with a separate section of URC 2025 dedicated to the Defense Industrial Base (DIB) and security technologies.

Ukraine is attractive for investment, stable, and open to strategic partnerships. It is time to act.
