The URC2025 will take place in Rome on 10 and 11 July 2025. It will be 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 will come together, united by a shared commitment to strengthen the resilience of Ukraine for as long as needed. The participants will represent the various stakeholder groups, demonstrating their strong engagement for Ukraine’s future.

The conference will reflect the Lugano principles, including a “whole of society” approach to recovery through the meaningful participation of a broad range of stakeholders.

The URC2025 will revolve around four thematic dimensions: the Business Dimension, the Human Dimension, the Local and Regional Dimension and the EU Dimension. These same Dimensions shaped the works of the URC2024. They are still the most relevant to the resilience and reconstruction of Ukraine, and maintaining them will give continuity to the work done, and the discussions held in Berlin in June 2024.

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 will be integrated into the above-mentioned dimensions. Moreover, a Recovery Forum – and a connected Business Fair – will be an integral part of the URC2025.

URC 2026

The Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC 2026) will be co-hosted by Poland and Ukraine and will take place in the city of Gdańsk on 25 and 26 June 2026.

URC 2026 seeks to bolster international support for the country's reconstruction as well as catalyze investments for Ukrainian businesses.

The event will focus on the sectors most impacted by Russian aggression: energy, critical infrastructure, and logistics.

The conference will place additional emphasis on enhancing Ukraine’s security capabilities, including a new Security and Defense dimension proposed by Poland, which will be introduced as a new feature of URC 2026 in Gdansk. Strengthening Ukraine’s defense is viewed as essential for broader reconstruction and long-term development.

Designed as a high-impact investment facilitation platform, URC will gather international, sovereign and private capital actors to accelerate transactions and anchor long-term economic transformation.

URC 2026 will bring together a diverse group of stakeholders, including heads of state and government, allied governments, national parliament members, international and financial institutions, business leaders, local authorities, and civil society organizations.

URC 2026 will focus on five thematic dimensions:

Integral parts of URC 2026:

Recovery Forum – an interactive in-person platform for Ukrainian, Polish, and international stakeholders to engage in open dialogue, share best practices, build partnerships, and explore solutions for private-sector involvement in reconstruction. Workshops will cover a wide range of practical topics to be discussed at the expert level, which are essential for advancing Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction, and investment attraction.
Business Fair – featuring presentations and exhibits by Ukrainian, Polish, and international companies, fostering cooperation among local authorities, businesses of all sizes, and investors, and creating new opportunities for innovation and sustainable economic growth.
The Infrastructure Platform – will operate alongside all URC 2026 dimensions. It is structured around four pillars: 1) transport connectivity, focusing on restoring and modernizing roads, railways, ports, and future airports for integration into the TEN-T network;
2) energy resilience, emphasizing distributed generation, energy efficiency, and integration into ENTSO-e;
3) digital transformation implementing smart technologies for infrastructure management and transparent recovery;
4) progressive alignment of Ukraine’s transport, energy, border, and customs regulations with EU standards. Within the Infrastructure Platform, discussions should also address the role and investment needs of Ukraine and EU Member States in transport and energy infrastructure to strengthen Ukraine’s economic resilience, revitalize strategic trade potential, and improve defense.
The Energy Platform – will operate as a dedicated high-level dialogue bringing together governments, international financial institutions, energy companies, and investors to discuss the transformation of Ukraine's energy sector under wartime conditions and its integration into the European energy system. The Platform will focus on four interconnected pillars: 1) energy resilience and security; 2) Ukraine's new Energy Strategy; 3) state and private sector cooperation in building a new decentralized energy system; 4) investment mobilization and market development. Within the Energy Platform, the role of Ukraine and its international partners in strengthening regional energy security and advancing Ukraine's integration into European energy will be addressed.
