The URC2025 took place in Rome on 10 and 11 July 2025. It was the fourth Ukraine Recovery Conference, continuing the annual series of high-level political events dedicated to the swift recovery and long-term reconstruction of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine.
Governments, international organisations, financial institutions, businesses, regions, municipalities and civil society came together, united by a shared commitment to strengthen the resilience of Ukraine for as long as needed. The participants represented the various stakeholder groups, demonstrating their strong engagement for Ukraine’s future.
The conference reflected the Lugano principles, including a “whole of society” approach to recovery through the meaningful participation of a broad range of stakeholders.
The URC2025 focused on the following four thematic dimensions:
Upholding the spirit of the Ukraine Reform Conferences that took place up until 2022, the URC2025 will also showcase Ukrainian reform progress in the context of its economic resilience and the EU accession process.
Important crosscutting issues such as macroeconomic stability, resilience and security, infrastructure, housing, energy, climate protection, green recovery, culture, healthcare, gender issues, education, environment, science-technology-innovation and disabilities were integrated into the above-mentioned dimensions. Moreover, a Recovery Forum – and a connected Business Fair – became an integral part of the URC2025.
