Ukraine’s Reconstruction: A Second ‘Big Bang’ for European Business?

How CEE business investment could transform Ukraine and bolster Europe's economic and political future

The fight for Ukraine’s future extends beyond the battlefield to its recovery and integration into the European Union. While security challenges remain, Ukraine’s reconstruction offers unprecedented growth opportunities for European businesses and a pathway to a stronger, more resilient Europe.

As Ukraine fights for its sovereignty in the face of  Russia’s full-scale invasion, an equally critical battle is being waged for its recovery and European future.

But this recovery is not just about the reconstruction of infrastructure – it is about the transformation that extends beyond Ukraine. Ukraine’s EU path, energised since 2022, now has a renewed momentum for aligning with European standards, bringing a historic opportunity to both Ukraine and current EU members.
