Executive snapshot

Once you have defined your goal and selected your entry pillar, the next step is operational: where exactly to look for opportunities, through which platforms and resources, and at what stage.

Ukraine’s ecosystem offers multiple access points. They should be used selectively, depending on the pillar you pursue. This section maps where opportunities surface in practice – not how deals are structured.

Pipeline 1. Public and recovery driven opportunities

Use this pillar if your goal is to sell, bid or invest into public or recovery projects.

Where to look

DREAM – the central platform reflecting public investment and recovery needs at national, regional and municipal level
Unified Portfolio of Public Investment Projects – approved priority projects backed by public funding logic
Public procurement systems (Prozorro) – for formal tender announcements and contract award stages

How these resources are used

To identify what the state and communities plan to implement
To track projects before procurement is launched
To understand priority sectors, locations and timelines

Important. These platforms provide early visibility, not ready to bid contracts. They signal what is coming, not what is being awarded.

See Annex Е1. Unified portfolio of public investment projects;

Annex Е2. DREAM platform;

Annex D8. Guide to electronic public procurement system in Ukraine

Pipeline 2. Donor- and IFI-funded projects

Use this pillar if your goal is to work on donor or IFI financed projects.

Where to look

IFI project pipelines and country strategies (World Bank, EBRD, EIB and others)
Implementing agencies and project preparation facilities
Donor procurement portals used by IFIs and development partners

How these resources are used

To position well before tenders are announced
To understand eligibility, procurement rules and delivery models
To identify future opportunities at the project preparation stage

Important. This pillar rewards early engagement and compliance readiness, not reactive bidding.

See Annex E. Financial and State Support Programmes

Pipeline 3. Private sector and partnership based opportunities

Use this pillar if your goal is to sell, partner or gradually enter the market through commercial projects.

Where to look

Investment Opportunities Map (EBA) – private and semi public investment initiatives
Ukraine Investment Catalogue – curated investment projects and sponsors
NAZOVNI platform – partner and supplier matchmaking
Business associations and chambers of commerce – sector specific access and networks

How these resources are used

To identify commercial demand and project sponsors
To find local partners, subcontractors and representatives
To build project specific delivery chains

Important. Private opportunities move faster, but require strong upfront structuring: payment security, tax exposure and delivery responsibility must be addressed early.

See Annex Е3. Investment Opportunities Map of Ukraine (EBA);

Annex Е4. Ukraine Investment Catalogue;

Annex Е6. NAZOVNI platform;

Annex Е7. International Chambers of Commerce / Business Associations

Pipeline 4. Asset based entry: PPP, privatization and transactions

Use this pillar if your goal is ownership, long term control or strategic positioning.

Where to look

PPP and concession pipelines coordinated by the PPP Agency
Privatization and leasing mechanisms
Prozorro.Sale – transparent platform for asset transactions
How these resources are used
To identify assets rather than contracts
To assess ownership, concession or control models
To plan post transaction execution and operations

Important. This pillar is transaction driven, not sales driven. Due diligence and operational capacity are critical.

See Annex Е5. The State Organization Agency on Support Public-Private Partnership (PPP Agency);

Annex D7. Privatization process in Ukraine

What applies across all pillars

Some resources support all entry pillars, rather than any single one.

Facilitation

UkraineInvest – national investment facilitation body supporting navigation across institutions and stakeholders (see Annex G10)

Facilitation helps with access and orientation, but does not replace commercial negotiations, structuring or risk assessment.

Financing and risk mitigation

IFIs, DFIs and ECAs
Guarantees, insurance and risk sharing instruments

These tools often determine whether an opportunity is viable at all, especially for large scale or long-term projects.
