From Resilience to Long-Term Recovery
The next Ukraine Recovery Conference will take place in Tallinn, Estonia, on 28–29 January 2027. More information will be available soon. For the latest news and updates, visit urc27.org.
Led by Estonia and Ukraine and co-organised by the Nordic-Baltic Eight (NB8), URC 2027 will bring Ukraine and its international partners together to reinforce existing commitments, mobilise new support and translate these efforts into faster and more coordinated recovery.
With winter placing severe pressure on Ukraine’s energy system, critical infrastructure and communities, URC 2027 will address both immediate resilience and long-term recovery. The Conference will focus on practical outcomes, including concrete commitments, rapid-response mechanisms and investments that strengthen Ukraine’s resilience today while laying the foundation for long-term recovery and development.
Ukraine is continuing to rebuild homes, schools, hospitals, energy systems and communities while advancing state transformation, economic renewal and progress towards its European future. Recovery and reconstruction cannot wait: they are already under way and must continue now.
Held across three venues in central Tallinn, URC 2027 will carry forward the five dimensions established in Gdańsk, tailored to Ukraine’s most pressing needs and the circumstances of January 2027.
Each dimension will:
The Nordic-Baltic Eight, comprising Estonia, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway and Sweden, will contribute high-level political engagement, lead selected preparatory, side and post-conference events, and mobilise businesses in support of Ukraine’s priorities across the five dimensions and four platforms.
Estonia’s role as co-host is grounded in a strong record of support for Ukraine and practical experience in:
Together, Ukraine, Estonia and the NB8 will support a resilient recovery and thorough reforms with a view to Ukraine’s accession to the European Union.
in combined military, financial and humanitarian support to Ukraine, accounting for roughly one-third of total international assistance, a ratio unmatched by any other sub-regional grouping.
URC 2027 will carry forward the five dimensions established in Gdańsk, complemented by four dedicated platforms and fora.
The dimension will focus on turning Ukraine’s business potential into a concrete pipeline of partnerships, investment and company-to-company cooperation. Key areas include private capital, war-risk insurance, privatisation, value-added industries including creative industries, innovation and resilient digital technologies. A Business and Innovation Fair will support project pitching, direct matchmaking and connections between Ukrainian and international companies and investors. Environmentally sustainable business practices, green investment and resource-efficient production will form an integral part of Ukraine’s economic recovery.
The dimension will focus on the people and institutions essential to Ukraine’s long-term recovery. It will address sustainable welfare systems, education, skills and pathways to employment, research, digital transformation, and cultural and societal resilience. Particular attention will be given to barrier-free recovery, veterans’ affairs and the role of human capital in rebuilding resilient communities and supporting Ukraine’s future development.
The dimension will strengthen the role of regions and municipalities as strategic actors in Ukraine’s reconstruction. It will focus on local institutional capacity, resilient communities, high-quality living environments, spatial planning and local economies. It will also promote investable projects, knowledge transfer and long-term partnerships that enable recovery to be implemented effectively at the local and regional level.
The dimension will connect Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction with its path towards European Union membership. Key themes include the rule of law, anti-corruption, public administration reform, digital governance and alignment with EU standards. The dimension will focus on practical steps that embed deeper European integration across Ukraine’s recovery and reform efforts.
The dimension will address the security conditions necessary for sustainable recovery and development. Areas of focus will include defence-industrial cooperation, EU funding opportunities, wartime innovation, cyber security, safe shelters, cultural resilience and civilian demining. The dimension recognises that Ukraine’s ability to recover, attract investment and rebuild communities is directly connected to its long-term security and resilience.
Four complementary formats for sustained coordination and practical action
Given the scale of the winter energy challenges caused by Russia’s aggression, the Energy Platform will serve as URC 2027’s signature platform. It will focus on mobilising support for Ukraine’s immediate energy needs, including emergency equipment and repair capacity, while also addressing longer-term investment and the development of more decentralised and resilient heating and power systems.
A meeting of the G7+ Ukraine Energy Coordination Group, known as Energy Ramstein, is also envisaged in Tallinn on the margins of URC 2027.
The Infrastructure Platform will address coordination and sector reform in areas including environmental protection, water management, mobility and maritime sectors. It will support closer alignment between Ukraine and its international partners on the reconstruction and modernisation of critical infrastructure while strengthening the systems and reforms needed for sustainable long-term recovery.
The Ukraine Donor Platform will focus on strengthening donor coordination and financing alignment in support of Ukraine’s immediate financing needs and its long-term economic recovery and reconstruction. Ministerial and Steering Committee meetings will be convened in connection with URC 2027, supporting coordination among Ukraine, international partners and financial institutions and reinforcing recovery in line with Ukraine’s European path.
The Civil Society Forum will provide a dedicated space for civil-society participation in the recovery process. It will support dialogue, inclusion and accountability, ensuring that Ukrainian civil society remains actively involved in shaping, implementing and monitoring recovery and reconstruction.
