The Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC2024) in Berlin is the next in the annual series of high-level political and economic events dedicated to the reconstruction of Ukraine. This is also the first Ukraine recovery conference hosted in Germany. The conference is in continuity with the principles of the Lugano Conference (July 2022), including a new approach to recovery through the participation of the whole society. Upholding the spirit of previous Ukraine Reform Conferences, URC2024 will also showcase the progress of Ukraine's reforms in the context of its economic resilience and EU accession process.
The main objective of URC2024 is to mobilize international support for recovery and reconstruction, but also for structural reforms and modernization of Ukraine. This includes on the one hand the urgent provision of assistance for immediate needs, the implementation of rapid recovery projects, and on the other hand the creation of attractive conditions for businesses to invest in the private sector in Ukraine and civil society to engage in the process of reconstruction.
On June 10, one day before the conference, an event organized by U-Nation will be held for investors and funds, corporations and companies, innovators and startups, government institutions and NGOs:
