The international exhibition ReBuild Ukraine Construction & Energy 2026 in Warsaw concluded with a series of investment agreements; the Ministry of Economy and Environment of Ukraine announced €146,25 mln to expand financing for enterprises, €75 mln for community energy and additional commitments for Horizon Capital of €50 mln.
€146,25 mln for small and medium-sized businesses
One of the key deals is a joint programme of the European Commission and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) totalling €146,25 mln to expand Ukrainian firms’ access to financing. Of that sum €125 mln is intended as European Union (EU) guarantees, and €21,25 mln as grant support; the programme is expected to attract more than €600 mln of new investment.
Priority will be given to businesses affected by the war, veteran-owned businesses and companies that employ veterans. The guarantees are designed to reduce risks for financial institutions and ease business access to loans, while the grant component foresees direct payments.
€75 mln for the energy infrastructure of Dmytrivska community
A Ukrainian investor and the Polish company E-HUB signed an agreement to develop the energy infrastructure as part of the “Vlasne Misto” project in Dmytrivska community in Kyiv region for €75 mln. The project aims to strengthen the community’s energy resilience and create conditions for the development of the local economy.
The initiative foresees the development of local generation and decentralised systems so the community has more capacity to maintain critical services in the event of damage to large energy assets. The document emphasises creating conditions to attract investment into local energy capacities.
Horizon Capital, other deals and EU packages
Investors announced additional commitments of €50 mln to Horizon Capital Catalyst Fund - after this the fund’s total size reached €200 mln. The fund is focused on investments in energy, digital infrastructure, construction and industry; one of the first projects was an investment for a 45% stake in a wind energy project in Odesa region with a capacity of 124 MW.
Separately, PrivatBank and the Group of the European Investment Bank signed an agreement on €3,4 mln of grant support for businesses to compensate part of costs related to credit financing; the maximum grant per enterprise is €200 thousand. Swedish Swedfund International AB joined the Ukraine Framework for Project Preparation platform as the fourth partner for technical and grant assistance.
The steering board of Ukraine Investment Framework approved four programmes totalling €376 mln in the form of guarantees and blended finance, which are expected to help attract up to €1,4 bn of investment. Ukraine Investment Framework is part of the Ukraine Facility mechanism with a volume of $50 bn, whose financial instruments include €9,6 bn in guarantees and blended finance; as of 4 November 2026, €8,9 bn, or about 90% of the resource, had been allocated.
On the sidelines of ReBuild Ukraine, an agreement was also announced under the American-Ukrainian Investment Fund for Reconstruction: the company UFORCE raised $700 mln to develop and scale the production of unmanned systems. Minister of Economy and Environment Oleksandr Kravchenko named three key conditions for large-scale capital mobilisation: acceleration of reforms, macro-financial stability and reduction of investment risks.
