Now and when the war is over, the reconstruction of Ukraine will cost over $400 Billion (according to the World Bank). We confidently look forward to Ukraine’s prevailing in its struggle to preserve its freedom and territorial integrity.

Panelists will discuss the latest information on the war’s impact on Ukraine's construction and infrastructure as well as the role of the international community in the rebuilding of Ukraine. They will also provide a synopsis of current and anticipated needs and opportunities, immediate/on-going vs long-term reconstruction project priorities and Risks/Opportunities in doing public and private construction projects in Ukraine.
