Seventeen Chamber member companies, represented by 21 business leaders, joined the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdańsk and discussed future Czech-Ukrainian cooperation with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš.
The Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce organised a strong business delegation to the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdańsk, Poland.
Representatives of 17 Chamber member companies met with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš to discuss how Czech businesses can contribute not only to the reconstruction of Ukraine’s critical infrastructure, but also to its long-term economic development.
The Prime Minister expressed his interest in Ukraine and welcomed the scale and diversity of the Chamber delegation. The participating companies represented a broad range of sectors and offered high-quality technologies, products and services for the Ukrainian market.
The delegation included representatives of RACOM, ANGLER, Ukraine Recovery Fund, Ukrainian Hemp, IT-Enterprise, ArtBudService, IPR Aqua, Boson Distribution, RSJ Investments, Mostárna Lískovec, MND, Nadace Partnerství, RENOMIA Romania, Ukrpol, Time & Space Group, Top People Group, the Association for International Affairs, the Czech Health Technology Institute and EGAP.
The Ukraine Recovery Conference has evolved significantly over the past three years:
Berlin 2024 built the framework.
Rome 2025 defined the vision.
Gdańsk 2026 became the marketplace, where discussions increasingly developed into contracts and partnerships.
URC 2026 welcomed 7,500 participants, 70 government delegations, 38 international organisations and more than 200 exhibiting companies. Agreements worth more than EUR 10 billion were announced during the conference.
These figures demonstrate that Ukraine’s recovery has entered a new phase. The central question is no longer whether international companies should engage in Ukraine, but how they can enter the market successfully and build sustainable partnerships.
The conference resulted in two important next steps for the Czech business community.
A high-level follow-up meeting with Prime Minister Babiš and Czech companies was arranged at the Government Office in Prague.
In addition, preparations were announced for a Czech business mission to Ukraine in autumn 2026, led by Minister of Industry and Trade Karel Havlíček. The mission is expected to be open to Czech companies, chambers of commerce and other institutions interested in doing business and investing in Ukraine.
Another important milestone at URC 2026 was the introduction of a dedicated Security & Defence dimension.
This development confirms a principle that the Chamber has consistently advocated:
You cannot rebuild what you cannot protect.
Security is a prerequisite for investment, infrastructure development and sustainable economic recovery. Ukraine’s reconstruction and Europe’s security must therefore be addressed together.
The Czech-Ukrainian Chamber of Industry & Commerce thanks all participating members and partners for representing Czech-Ukrainian business cooperation in Gdańsk.
The Chamber looks forward to building on these discussions through concrete projects, partnerships and the upcoming business mission to Ukraine.
Next stop: Tallinn 2027.
