The Netherlands at ReBuild Ukraine
Working together for Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.
Ukraine’s recovery is a long-term effort that goes beyond rebuilding what has been damaged. Together with Ukrainian, European, and international partners, the Netherlands supports a resilient and future-oriented Ukraine by connecting public organisations, businesses, and knowledge institutions around practical solutions that respond to Ukraine’s priorities.
This page highlights the Netherlands’ participation in the ReBuild Ukraine missions of 2026 and showcases how these partnerships contribute to Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction.
A message from our Special Envoy for Ukraine
"After more than three and a half years of war, the damage Russia has inflicted upon the Ukrainian people and Ukraine’s social and physical infrastructure is immense. Power plants and other vital infrastructure have been damaged or destroyed, and many people have lost their homes and their livelihoods. Reconstruction cannot wait; it must start now, hand in hand with early recovery.
The private sector has a crucial role to play in rebuilding Ukraine. Dutch companies with their extensive knowledge and expertise – especially in the areas of construction, sustainable energy, agriculture, water, and life sciences and health – can make a key contribution to the country’s reconstruction.
The ReBuild Ukraine conference is an excellent opportunity to learn first-hand about Ukraine’s most urgent needs and priorities, to showcase Dutch knowledge and expertise, to network and establish contacts with governments, businesses and financial institutions, and to engage in sustainable cooperation with partners.
During the conference, several panels will hold in-depth discussions on Ukraine’s needs and provide insights on how we can best work together to rebuild Ukraine in a resilient and sustainable way.
Your participation is therefore essential for building Ukraine back better in the years ahead. Ukraine needs our support – we must rebuild Ukraine together."
