EU SUPPORT AND ACCESSION DRIVING UKRAINE’S ECONOMIC RECOVERY – on the road to URC2025

Following Ukraine’s Future Summit’s success last year, the EU-Ukraine Business Summit will serve as a platform for deepening Ukraine’s economic integration with the European Union and fostering stronger cooperation and opportunities for European businesses.

Co-organised by the European Commission, with the support of the Mission of Ukraine to the EU, Italy – as organisers of the 2025 Ukraine Recovery Conference – and the Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU, the summit will provide an update on key EU financial instruments and cooperation mechanisms in order to bolster investment in Ukraine.

European industries will join this vital dialogue, contributing to more robust economic cooperation and shaping a future of shared prosperity and partnership between EU and Ukrainian businesses.

Our mission statement

Our mission is twofold: we aim to bring politics and business together in order to provide them with an opportunity to debate and pursue their common goals, giving a voice to all sides of the debate. The other priority of EBS is to provide European institutions with a platform where they can place their top priorities in the spotlight and advance the development of new pieces of legislation through discussion with a variety of actors and stakeholders.
