Manchester will host Innovations to Rebuild Ukraine on 4 June 2026, a high-impact business conference designed to connect UK organisations directly with Ukrainian civic leaders responsible for delivering fully costed reconstruction projects.
The event will spotlight opportunities within Ukraine’s estimated $560 billion recovery programme, creating a platform for deal-making, partnership building and investment across critical sectors.
Bringing together one of the largest Ukrainian delegations to visit the UK, the conference will feature live presentations of investment-ready projects and direct engagement with decision-makers actively seeking British expertise and delivery partners. Opportunities span construction, infrastructure, energy and renewables, logistics, manufacturing and agri-tech, placing UK businesses at the centre of one of Europe’s most significant rebuilding efforts.
The need is substantial. More than half of Ukraine’s energy infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, over 150,000 residential buildings have been affected, and more than 25,000 kilometres of roads and critical transport links have been impacted. Agricultural land has also suffered severe disruption, increasing demand for innovation, modernisation and international collaboration.
Unlike traditional conferences, Innovations to Rebuild Ukraine is structured to drive practical outcomes. Attendees and sponsors will gain access to curated matchmaking meetings with senior Ukrainian stakeholders, early visibility of regional and national project pipelines, and opportunities to position themselves as trusted partners in Ukraine’s long-term recovery. Sponsorship packages also include enhanced visibility, speaker opportunities and direct introductions aligned to business capabilities.
The event also carries a strong social mission. Proceeds will support urgent renovations at the Kyiv Regional Children’s Hospital in Boiarka, which provides life-saving services to around 1,200 children each month. The hospital, which has sustained infrastructure damage and faces ongoing pressure from attacks on energy systems, urgently requires upgrades to its emergency and surgical units, alongside off-grid energy and essential medical technologies.
General attendance is limited, with sponsorship and exhibitor opportunities now open for organisations ready to play an active role in rebuilding Ukraine.
