BUEF and UkraineInvest sign a memorandum to strengthen the UK–Ukraine investment bridge

Mark Higton of BUEF and Maryna Khlystun, Executive Director of UkraineInvest, shake hands after signing the Memorandum of Cooperation at the Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 in Gdańsk.

BUEF and UkraineInvest, Ukraine’s national investment-promotion office, have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation at the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Gdańsk to strengthen investment ties between the two countries — moving British interest in Ukraine’s recovery from intent to practical, project-level engagement.

British Ukrainian Economic Future (BUEF) and UkraineInvest, Ukraine’s national investment-promotion office, have signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to strengthen investment engagement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) 2026 in Gdańsk, Poland.

The memorandum was signed by Maryna Khlystun, Executive Director of UkraineInvest, and Mark Higton, a member of the BUEF Board.

The partnership reinforces the British investment track in Ukraine’s recovery, with a shared focus on moving from investor interest to practical engagement — from expressions of interest towards concrete, cross-border projects.

Under the memorandum, the two organisations will work together across six priority areas:

  • promoting Ukraine’s investment opportunities in the United Kingdom;
  • facilitating engagement with British and international investors;
  • supporting business delegations, investment missions and direct B2B contacts;
  • organising joint investment forums, roadshows and round tables;
  • sharing market intelligence and investment expertise; and
  • supporting initiatives aimed at Ukraine’s recovery and long-term development.

Combining BUEF’s business network in the United Kingdom with UkraineInvest’s mandate to guide and support foreign investors creates a practical platform for mobilising private capital, building partnerships and advancing investment projects in Ukraine.

BUEF looks forward to working alongside UkraineInvest to help turn international interest in Ukraine’s recovery into delivered, cross-border projects.
