Цифрова трансформація

The URC2024 took place under the motto "United in defence. United in recovery. Stronger together." It is a continuation of the annual series of high-level political events dedicated to the swift recovery and long-term reconstruction of Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine. Governments, international organisations, financial institutions, businesses, regions, municipalities and civil society came together –united by a shared commitment to strengthen the resilience of Ukraine for as long as needed. With over 3.400 participants representing the various stakeholder groups, they demonstrated our strong engagement for Ukraine’s future at the URC2024. It was the first Ukraine Recovery Conference hosted in an EU member state and came at a critical time for Ukraine. The conference reflected the Lugano principles, including a “whole of society” approach to recovery through the meaningful participation of a broad range of stakeholders. Upholding the spirit of the Ukraine Reform Conferences that took place up until2022, the URC2024 did also showcase Ukrainian reform progress in the context of its economic resilience and the EU accession process.

Important cross-cutting issues such as macro-economic stability, resilience and security, infrastructure, housing, energy, climate protection, the green recovery, healthcare, education, environment and gender were integrated into the above mentioned dimensions. Moreover, there was an intergovernmental element and a Recovery Forum as an integral part of the URC2024.

URC 2024 Goal

The key goal of the URC2024 was to mobilize continued international support for recovery, reconstruction, reform, and modernization of Ukraine. This includes providing emergency assistance for immediate needs, implementing rapid recovery projects and creating attractive conditions for businesses to unlock the private sector investments in Ukraine, and civil society to actively engage in the reconstruction process. For a summary of the results of the URC 2024 see the Chair’s Summary here. For recordings of the discussions held please visit the YouTube channel of the Ministry of Economy

The URC2024 did focus on the following four thematic dimensions:

  • Business Dimension – Mobilising the Private Sector for Reconstruction and Economic Growth
  • Human Dimension – Social Recovery and Human Capital for the Future of Ukraine
  • Local and Regional Dimension – Recovery of Municipalities and Regions
  • EU Dimension – EU Accession and Related Reforms
Business Dimension – Mobilising the Private Sector for Reconstruction and Economic Growth
Human Dimension – Social Recovery and Human Capital for the Future of Ukraine
Local and Regional Dimension – Recovery of Municipalities and Regions

The Recovery Forum formed an integral part of the URC 2024. It provided an interactive, on-site platform for Ukrainian, German and international stakeholders to engage in dialogue, 'matchmaking', and collaboration. The Recovery Forum united different actors through their commitment to the recovery, reconstruction, and modernization of Ukraine. With its versatile elements and formats, the Recovery Forum provided a valuable addition to the panels of the four dimensions.
