During the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026, the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, together with the KSE Institute, presented the Ukraine Investment Guide 2026. The guide was prepared with the support of the Government of the United Kingdom. This is the third edition of the guide, which helps investors, financial institutions, international partners, and companies identify investment opportunities and partners in Ukraine.

The Ukraine Investment Guide 2026 includes 377 investment opportunities across 11 key sectors of the Ukrainian economy, with a total budget of $77.2 billion. Around $61.6 billion needs to be raised for their implementation. The guide covers projects in energy, transport and logistics, agriculture, industry, critical materials, green metallurgy, defense and dual-use technologies, IT and digital technologies, construction materials, healthcare, real estate, and housing. A separate section is dedicated to private equity and venture capital funds, as well as other funds that raise capital to work with Ukrainian businesses.

The presentation took place during the workshop “Flagship Investment Projects: From Project Portfolio to Implementation” at URC 2026. Participants discussed how to bring projects from the preparation stage to launch, attract financing, reduce risks for investors, and develop cooperation between Ukrainian businesses, international companies, financial institutions, and the state.

“Ukraine is already shaping the economy of the future, where private investment, entrepreneurship, and new production capacities should become important drivers of growth. The Investment Guide shows where well-prepared opportunities to attract capital already exist — in energy, logistics, manufacturing, critical materials, technologies, and other sectors. We are working to make it easier for businesses to invest, scale, and find partners in Ukraine. It is important for us that interest in Ukraine turns more quickly into concrete projects, financing, and new jobs,” said Oleksii Sobolev, Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine.

Ukraine’s investment portfolio is growing rapidly. The previous edition of the guide, presented at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2025 in Rome, included 250 investment opportunities. Over the course of a year, this number increased to 377. At the same time, around 40% of the projects from the previous edition have already secured financing or made significant progress in implementation. This demonstrates that Ukraine’s investment market is generating new opportunities and ensuring the gradual realization of well-prepared projects.

The largest sector in the Ukraine Investment Guide 2026 is energy. It includes 106 projects with a total budget of $47.5 billion. Significant opportunities are also presented in the digital sector, transport and logistics, green metallurgy, agriculture, critical materials, defense technologies and dual-use technologies, industry, and construction materials.

Special attention during the meeting was devoted to financing and risk reduction. Ukraine already has a broad investment support system, ranging from programs of international financial organizations and development institutions to export credit agencies, guarantees, war risk insurance, and blended finance. These instruments help high-quality projects attract financing from various sources, reduce risks, and make investments more accessible to private capital.

During the workshop, the Ministry of Economy also presented 18 flagship investment projects with a combined budget of $64.7 billion, while the State Property Fund of Ukraine presented five privatization assets.

“Investment in Ukraine is already happening. The experience of the previous edition of the Guide shows that well-prepared projects can move toward financing and implementation. Together with the Ministry of Economy and partners, we worked to bring projects into a single structure and present them clearly for investors. The Guide helps Ukrainian companies become more visible to international investors, opens more opportunities for partnerships, and supports private sector development,” said Maksym Fedoseienko, Vice President for Business Engagement at KSE Institute.

The Ukraine Investment Guide 2026 was prepared by KSE Institute in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy, Environment, and Agriculture of Ukraine, with the support of the Government of the United Kingdom. Deloitte, EY, KPMG, BDO, PwC, UVCA, UkraineInvest, the Investment Support Office of the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, and other Ukrainian and international partners also contributed to the preparation of the Guide.
