On July 31, the III UKRAINE INVESTMENT CONGRESS 2025 took place at the Parkovy Exhibition Center — the main event of the year for the investment, construction, and architecture industries.
The event brought together over 4,857 participants: representatives of international and national investors, banks, development companies, industrial groups, municipalities, government agencies, and industry associations.
The congress became a platform for frank dialogue about the future of Ukraine’s investment market, the development of joint reconstruction strategies, and the search for new formats of public-private partnership.
“The main investment today is people. Ukrainians who start businesses even during the war, create jobs, and change communities. Our task is to provide them with the conditions, tools, and partners to scale up.”
The program covered the most pressing aspects of the investment environment.
1. Ukraine’s investment attractiveness.
Participants discussed how to increase confidence in the Ukrainian market, reduce regulatory barriers, and create transparent rules of the game. It was emphasized that the stability and predictability of state policy is a key signal for large investors.
2. Investment and geopolitics.
Panel discussions touched upon the new architecture of international cooperation. Experts emphasized that the war has changed the priorities of global players, and Ukraine should become an example of effective integration into economic alliances through partnerships with international funds and corporations.
3. Capital for ideas: how banks evaluate projects.
Representatives of the banking sector presented criteria for making financing decisions: from a thorough analysis of the business model to an assessment of geographical and security risks.
“Our main task is to build relationships with clients based on trust. If we understand the business and believe in the idea, it is easier to make a positive decision,” said Semen Babaev, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of PRAVEX BANK.
4. Private investment and insurance mechanisms.
A separate discussion was devoted to investor protection: risk insurance and compensation under international law. This is especially important for small and medium-sized businesses, which are the quickest to respond to reconstruction needs.
5. Alternative energy and distributed generation.
Representatives of the energy sector emphasized that green energy projects are among the most attractive for private investors. The Investment and Development Fund – First, which focuses on financing such initiatives, was presented for the first time.
6. Defense projects and dual-use.
The focus is on attracting private capital to dual-use projects. During the presentation, the launch of Ukraine’s first mutual fund, the Verum One Security Fund, was announced.
7. Development and architecture.
The community of architects called for a change in the urban planning paradigm: the chief architect should not only be the creator of the environment, but also the manager of the community’s investment development.
8. Production of building materials.
Participants agreed that creating their own production facilities is a strategic task that will reduce construction costs and accelerate infrastructure restoration.
“Investment is not just about finance. It’s trust, new technologies, and responsibility for a shared future. We have shown that Ukraine is ready for recovery and open partnerships.”
