On 12 November, we joined the Business & Rebuild Executive Talks — an event organized by our partners at Diia City Union. The atmosphere was focused and substantive: strategic conversations, concrete ideas, and a shared understanding that reconstruction is not a distant prospect but a process already taking shape today.
The panel featured:
– Vasyl Bodnar, Ambassador of Ukraine to Poland — on the model for organizing reconstruction, new cooperation mechanisms, and the role of Polish business.
– Daria Marchak, Deputy Minister of Economy of Ukraine — on large-scale privatization and the potential of Polish–Ukrainian investment in strategic sectors such as energy, defense, and infrastructure.
– Mark Voyger, former adviser to the Commander of the U.S. Army in Europe — on why supporting Ukraine is essential for Western security, and why investing in Ukraine means investing in long-term stability.
– Andrzej Dycha, Chair of the Polish Investment and Trade Agency — on the growing interest of Polish companies in Ukrainian technologies, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and municipal services.
The key messages were clear:
- Ukraine is preparing a major package of opportunities — including 450 privatization assets suitable for joint infrastructure and defense projects.
- Poland is seeking partners in sectors where Ukrainian technology and expertise are already showing strong advantages.
Ukrainian businesses that relocated to Poland contributed approximately 2.7% to Poland’s GDP growth — a potential that may also support Ukraine’s reconstruction through human and business integration. - The Polish side is preparing special financial mechanisms (including the Ukraine Facility) to protect companies operating in Ukraine. This further simplifies the participation of Polish businesses in reconstruction.
- Speakers also emphasized the need to unlock USD 120 billion in frozen Russian assets, which could finance up to 18 months of Ukraine’s reconstruction.
- Ukraine, in turn, can offer Europe and the United States advanced R&D in the military-tech sector — yet unquestionably requires financial support from partners in the form of external investment.
- Another essential component of the national reconstruction program is the integration of war veterans into the country’s social and business environment, with real support and recognition of their contribution to Ukraine’s resistance.
- Reconstruction is not only about funding — it is about mutual trust, determination, and long-term partnerships.
