First programme
Ukraine Reconstruction & Resilience Facility.
EDRIF's first dedicated programme: rebuilding damaged assets while financing a modern, productive and economically sustainable Ukraine.
01Why Ukraine first
From reconstruction to modernisation.
Ukraine faces one of Europe's largest reconstruction and economic development challenges. The task is not simply to replace damaged assets, but to build a modern, resilient and future-oriented economy.
Ukraine's reconstruction requires substantial capital, while Europe must strengthen infrastructure, energy security, industrial capacity and strategic resilience. Ukraine is where EDRIF starts; the model scales to reconstruction, infrastructure and resilience projects across Europe and neighbouring regions.
02Priority sectors
Where the programme focuses.
Commercially viable projects with measurable economic and societal value, across the sectors that shape a resilient economy.
01
Energy & energy security
Power systems, storage, resilience and efficiency.
02
Infrastructure & logistics
Transport, rail, logistics and industrial facilities.
03
Housing & real estate
Sustainable housing, modular construction and community development.
04
Industry & manufacturing
Industrial development, automation and resilient supply chains.
05
Agriculture & food infrastructure
Food production, storage, processing and rural development.
06
Digital infrastructure
Connectivity, data systems and digital platforms.
07
SME & corporate finance
Financing for Ukrainian small and medium-sized enterprises and corporates.
03More than money
Capital alone does not create transformation.
Europe brings
Industrial capability
Access to manufacturers, engineering companies, technology providers and contractors.
Europe shares
Knowledge transfer
European sector expertise, operating standards and long-term capability building.
Built together
Project development
Support for opportunities from concept through assessment, due diligence and execution.
Stays in Ukraine
Local entrepreneurship
Sustainable economic activity through local companies, partners and market access.
04European supply hub
Connecting European capability with reconstruction needs.
EDRIF can connect manufacturers, engineering companies, technology providers, investors and reconstruction projects within a European supply ecosystem. Focus areas can include equipment supply, industrial production, logistics and technology integration.
Reconstruction investment can therefore support both Ukrainian development and European industrial activity.
