Commission Brings Ukraine Reconstruction and Single Market Reforms to Warsaw

The European Commission and Ukrainian authorities will host an EU-Ukraine Investment Conference in Warsaw on 12 and 13 November, bringing investors, business leaders and public officials together to discuss reconstruction and economic integration.

The meeting will take place at the ReBuild Ukraine Expo and will be opened by Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos alongside Ukraine’s economy and environment minister, according to a Commission announcement published on Wednesday.

For the first time, the conference’s matchmaking programme will offer business-to-government meetings as well as business-to-business contacts. Companies will be able to engage with public authorities, financing institutions and potential commercial partners.

Kos is also due to join a business partnership roundtable with chief executives and members of the Ukraine Donor Platform’s Business Advisory Council, and to meet the Ukraine Facility Audit Board. Her programme includes talks with Estonia on preparations for the next Ukraine Recovery Conference, scheduled for Tallinn in 2027.

Reconstruction requires more than identifying damaged infrastructure. The Commission is placing the business climate, access to finance and the rules governing investment alongside physical recovery.

Its announcement highlights financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, the energy sector, strategic industries and dual-use technologies. These are discussion priorities, not evidence that new projects or funding agreements have already been signed.

The Commission explicitly links investment to Ukraine’s gradual integration into the EU Single Market and its accession-related reforms. It identifies the rule of law, corporate governance and the fight against corruption as areas where progress can improve competitiveness and attract sustainable private investment.

That places commercial opportunities within a wider institutional process: rebuilding the economy while aligning the conditions under which businesses operate with European standards.

The conference will run on 12-13 November. The Commission points to the Ukraine Investment Framework as a channel for mobilising investment, but its advance announcement gives no new total for deals secured at this event. Outcomes will need to be judged by subsequent commitments and implementation.
