Focus Topics

IT & HighTech

Ukraine is a rising hub for IT, high-tech, robotics, and machinery, with a strong talent pool and innovative startups. The IT sector thrives in AI, cybersecurity, and software development, while robotics and automation are gaining momentum. The machinery industry is modernizing with smart technologies, driving industrial progress.

SUSTAINABLE INFRASTRUCTURE

Focus on energy systems, construction, urban development, logistics, waste management, recycling, and water distribution solutions.

AGRICULTURE

Agri-tech will be a massive multiplier of productivity for the Ukrainian Agro sector of the economy. Technology will improve yields, crop quality and create hundreds of thousands of jobs in Ukraine.

Subtopics

Healthcare & Finances & Education

Healthcare, finances, and education are key to Ukraine’s stability and growth. Reforms and digitalization are driving progress, but challenges like funding gaps and workforce shortages remain. These sectors also present significant opportunities for investment and innovation.

Schedule of the mission

The UA-UK Economic Recovery Business Forum is a key event that brings together business leaders, investors, representatives of governments, municipalities and international partners for an open conversation about the future of Ukraine's economic recovery. The focus is on investment, infrastructure, energy, innovation, housing and industrial parks. The Forum is designed to be a platform for real deals, new partnerships and synergies between Ukrainian communities and the UK private sector. The goal is not just to rebuild what has been destroyed, but to create a new model of development - modern, sustainable and future-oriented. It is a place where ideas meet opportunities, and international cooperation turns into concrete projects that change Ukraine today.
Pitch Session Day within the REBIRTH OF UKRAINE Trade Mission in London is a practical business event that allows Ukrainian and UK companies to present their projects, technologies, products, and services while establishing direct business contacts with potential partners and investors. Unlike the Forum, which is a more political and institutional event focused on strategic discussions and global initiatives, Pitch Session Day is a practical platform. It enables participants to discuss specific projects in detail, find partners for their implementation, and get answers to key business questions.
