The role of entrepreneurship in the post-conflict reconstruction of Ukraine
About this Event

The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused immense disruption, with communities, infrastructure, and livelihoods severely affected and losses estimated at over €170 billion. Amidst this devastation, Ukrainian entrepreneurs are stepping up to “build back better” and reimagine solutions for their communities. Their efforts showcase how people-powered prosperity driven by innovation, resilience, and local initiative can play a critical role in shaping a sustainable post-conflict recovery for Ukraine.

This event will provide an opportunity for participants to engage with insights from the IGP x Fast Forward 2030 White Paper, ,” and hear directly from entrepreneurs who are already taking action to rebuild Ukraine whilst in pursuit for lasting peace.

We will explore the central question: How entrepreneurship can accelerate Ukraine’s reconstruction?

Join us for an insightful evening and the opportunity to network with entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, academics, students and development partners engaged in Ukraine’s post-conflict recovery.

The event will take place in the ‘Phoenix Rising: Visions for Rebuilding Ukraine’ exhibition staged at The Building Centre, from 9 Dec 2025-9 Jan 2026, curated by Lucy Bullivant and Arthur Kay (M-F, 9am-6pm).
