Support for UK businesses helping to rebuild Ukraine
Department for Business and Trade (DBT) initiatives to support UK businesses helping to rebuild critical infrastructure in Ukraine.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has severely damaged critical infrastructure like bridges, housing, hospitals and power plants. Ukraine will need significant support and investment by British businesses to rebuild its critical infrastructure and keep its economy afloat for the duration of the war.
Figures published by the World Bank outline that reconstruction costs are expected to amount to $486 billion over the next decade.
DBT encourages innovative UK businesses to contribute their experience and expertise in rebuilding Ukraine’s damaged infrastructure. This is a unique opportunity for British businesses to demonstrate their strengths in the global market and make a difference to Ukraine.

We are leading efforts to assist Ukraine with its immediate and long-term recovery plan across a range of sectors and are ready to partner with UK businesses to fulfil Ukraine’s reconstruction needs.
