Despite ongoing challenges, Ukraine’s economy is growing and laying the foundations for development in 2025. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) remains a key driver of economic growth and recovery. UkraineInvest is committed to helping investors find their place in the rebuilding of the Ukrainian economy. Ukraine has demonstrated that its investment-friendly legislation provides a practical framework for reconstruction.
Viktoria Volovenko, Head of Analytics at UkraineInvest, highlighted this during an expert discussion organised by UkraineInvest in partnership with the German-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (AHK Ukraine), the Centre for Economic Strategy (CES) and the German Economic Team (GET).
The German Economic Team (GET), which focuses on improving strategies for attracting German FDI to Ukraine, conducted an in-depth sectoral analysis to identify investment priorities and provide recommendations for directing German investment to Ukraine. Priority sectors identified include energy, agri-food, construction materials, healthcare and defence. These sectors were selected based on their importance to Ukraine’s reconstruction needs and their alignment with Germany’s industrial strengths.
Ms Volovenko emphasised that these sectors are vital for both Ukraine’s short-term recovery and long-term economic development. Each sector includes several sub-sectors that require targeted investment, offering German investors a wide range of opportunities in line with their expertise and interests. In the energy sector, for example, the focus is on energy efficiency, an area in which Germany is globally recognised. In the housing sector, demand ranges from temporary shelters to long-term solutions for internally displaced persons (IDPs), creating significant opportunities for innovation and investment in modern construction methods. Demand for construction materials is already high and is expected to grow rapidly.
Logistics and the extraction of critical minerals, while not immediate priorities, are closely linked to other priority sectors. Ukraine’s vast mineral resources and strategic location offer significant opportunities for German investors, including the creation of reliable supply chains and access to high-demand industries such as lithium production and renewable energy infrastructure.
“UkraineInvest is ready to provide comprehensive support for German business investment in Ukraine and facilitate the implementation of German investment projects. We deeply appreciate Germany’s support for Ukraine and invite German companies to invest more actively in our country,” emphasised Ms Volovenko.
Germany is one of the top ten foreign investors in Ukraine. German investments contribute to the creation of jobs, the introduction of advanced technologies and the modernisation of Ukrainian industry.
