On 13 November, the fifth international exhibition and conference ReBuild Ukraine: Construction & Energy 2025 opened in Warsaw. The event, which serves as the leading European platform for promoting Ukraine’s recovery projects, brought together more than 6,000 participants, 762 companies from 33 countries, and 160 Ukrainian municipalities presenting their investment and reconstruction initiatives.

The Ukrainian delegation was led by Taras Kachka, Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine. The Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine was represented by Deputy Ministers Daria Marchak and Andrii Teliupa.

Throughout the day, Ukrainian officials held a series of important meetings with representatives of Poland, Sweden, the Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Australia, as well as European businesses. Key topics included recovery priorities, public–private partnerships, and investment opportunities.

A bilateral meeting between Deputy Prime Minister Taras Kachka and Deputy Minister Daria Marchak with EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos focused on the further implementation of the Ukraine Plan and the progress of reforms under the Ukraine Facility. The Ukrainian side thanked the European Union for its continued support, including the €5.9 billion tranche, which plays an essential role in strengthening macro-financial stability and advancing priority reforms.

Deputy Prime Minister Kachka and Deputy Minister Marchak also met with Poland’s Minister of Finance, Andrzej Domański. The parties agreed to strengthen the participation of Polish companies in Ukraine’s recovery and to develop joint financial tools to support investment. The Ministry’s team also held meetings with local businesses, building on discussions initiated at the 4th Forum of Reconstruction, Integration, Economy and Partnership in Lviv. Polish companies expressed interest in public–private partnership projects and proposed potential areas for deeper investment engagement.

Investment in renewable energy, energy autonomy of Ukrainian municipalities, and industrial equipment supply within the Industrial Ramstein initiative was discussed during the meeting of Taras Kachka and Andrii Teliupa with Sweden’s Minister for International Development and Foreign Trade, Johan Forssell, and representatives of Swedish industry.

Deputy Minister Andrii Teliupa also met with Petr Gandalovič, Director of the Department for Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic, to discuss investment projects under the Ukraine Facility. The Czech side presented a draft intergovernmental agreement on technical and financial cooperation, planned for signature in the first half of 2026. The agreement would enable access to European Commission financing for projects in medical equipment and social infrastructure renovation.

In a meeting with representatives of the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), the parties coordinated steps to implement the 12 practical recommendations of the Insurance Task Force and to prepare a roadmap for reforming Ukraine’s insurance market. The sides also discussed opportunities for UK business involvement in energy, industry, logistics, and infrastructure projects.

The agreements reached during these meetings form the basis for new intergovernmental arrangements, insurance mechanisms, and investor support programmes.

Within the framework of ReBuild Ukraine, members of the Ukrainian delegation participated in thematic panels and workshops. Deputy Minister Daria Marchak spoke at the session “Investment opportunities for Ukraine’s recovery: large-scale privatization, PPPs and private projects,” organised by the Kyiv School of Economics in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy. She presented opportunities for participating in large-scale privatization and outlined tools available to investors.

Deputy Minister Marchak also met with members of the Business Advisory Council, established in 2024 under the Ukraine Donor Platform, to discuss investment prospects and steps aimed at attracting foreign capital.

“We are seeing steady growth in international business interest in investing in Ukraine. Our task is to ensure transparent mechanisms that allow partners to invest with reduced risks. We are building the institutional foundation for this – from war-risk insurance to public–private partnerships,” noted Deputy Minister Daria Marchak.

At the workshop “Unlocking insurance for Ukraine’s recovery”, Deputy Minister Andrii Teliupa highlighted the development of Ukraine’s investment insurance market. Participants discussed mechanisms for covering war risks, existing insurance instruments (DFC, MIGA, EBRD), and next steps to expand investor opportunities.

“We see significant progress in establishing a war-risk insurance market. At the same time, additional tools are needed to make Ukraine fully insurable. This is why we are launching a state subsidy programme – a temporary mechanism that will help reduce insurance premiums and stimulate the domestic market. The draft state budget for next year allocates ₴1 billion for this purpose,” stated Deputy Minister Andrii Teliupa.

The Ministry of Economy delegation continues its work at ReBuild Ukraine 2025. On the second day, representatives will participate in two thematic workshops – “Rebuilding Ukraine’s Transport: Infrastructure, Logistics and Communications” and “Industrial Ramstein” – and will hold further bilateral meetings with international partners and businesses.
