FOUR-PILLAR APPROACH
Identifying and promoting projects that fuel economic growth, maximize hidden opportunities for public good and provide maximum effect by the synergy of the sectors
SMART STRATEGY
Fostering collaborative projects that connect the entire value chain—from raw material extraction to high-tech, high-value products.
- Energy & Climate:
Leveraging natural resources, existing energy infrastructure, and minimal regulatory barriers for construction and research to maximize Ukraine’s competitive advantage and drive innovation in the energy and technology sectors. - Agriculture & Biodiversity:
Leveraging local capacity, fertile land, and streamlined production for Ukraine to become a critical supplier for European markets, strengthening economic ties and food security. - Defence Industry:
Unlocking investment and advanced technologies from NATO and partner countries to drive Ukraine’s defense sector growth. This creates opportunities to expand production, R&D, and specialized training within Ukraine.
Developing and implementing policies that enable transformation, respond to pressing needs, and unleash potential opportunities at all levels
HARNESSING THE ENERGY OF CHANGE
Working directly with projects helps identify gaps, create conditions for bankability and avoid blind adoption of EU policies, instead leveraging OECD tools for tailored solutions:
- Define the Policy Landscape – Outline key features of the policy area.
- Identify Growth Barriers – Pinpoint challenges hindering sector development.
- Assess Economic Impact – Analyze how obstacles affect competitiveness and growth.
- Draft, Discuss, and Create Policy Recommendations – Develop a values-driven growth model.
- Draw and Implement a Roadmap for Change – Execute policy solutions for sustainable impact.
Implementing targeted reforms and strategic interventions is what allows Ukraine to unlock, as estimated by the IFC, up to $412 billion in private financing opportunities offered by Ukraine’s green and resilient reconstruction.
Selecting ethical like-minded individuals, enhancing their soft and hard skills, and developing dynamic network of People4State, well-prepared to drive the country transformation
COLLABORATION AS A TOOL
Creating an ecosystem of businesses, communities, and investors to foster effective communication and collaboration.
- “Personnel is policy,” and Ukraine’s transformation depends on a new generation of professionals ready to serve.
- Sustainable development requires strong, well-trained teams, and education is meaningful only when it is part of a broader transformation.
To support this, we are launching a training and education center to develop both hard and soft skills for Ukrainian professionals.
Deep-diving into society and cultural mindset, testing approaches on policies, shaping perceptions and developing a buy-in for projects and policies
TRUST FOR UNITY
- Development and application of analytics and public opinion research to shape effective policies and recommendations aligned with societal needs.
- Leveraging analytics and public opinion research to shape policies that align with societal needs while using social engineering techniques to prevent backlash in a divided society.
- Creating demand for change through strategic communication, narrative framing, and phased implementation ensures reforms are embraced rather than resisted.
BREAKING SHARED BARRIERS
Hindering competitiveness and development is urgent for the EU, while existential for Ukraine. The most critical are:
- Lack of capital for opportunities and innovation development
- Failing administrative capacity: outdated in Ukraine, and over-regulated in the EU
- Too high a role in the economy of the state and state-owned banks in Ukraine, complex and bureaucratic access to EU funding
- Absence of smart realistic strategies identifying the growth path and outlining the key priorities
The solution is clear: creating a framework for attracting both private and public investment, facilitating the free movement of capital, and ensuring private property protection
PIONEERING GLOBAL CHANGE
Unblocking the EU’s development is easier and faster to pilot and refine in Ukraine without the EU’s bureaucracy, and then scale up the success.
UKRAINE TODAY
Ukraine presents a perfect testing ground for piloting new models of more dynamic investment models, better support of innovative companies, and ultimately increasing wealth creation for citizens.
THE WORLD TOMORROW
The strategy of transition to an innovative, competitive economy, which UAFP will develop for Ukraine, can be applied in other countries.
Roman Vybranovskyy
Chairman of CHC
“The war has changed Ukraine’s economic landscape, destroying both ineffective infrastructure and oligarchic dominance. We have to build a modern economy that will help win the war and include Ukraine as a part of a resilient Europe. We joined our efforts to provide a mechanism that will use the best available knowledge to use this chance for modernization of the country.”
Viktor Berezenko
Co-founder of IGT
“The best opportunity to care for the future of Ukraine is now. Ukraine’s economic self-sufficiency should be highlighted by businesses, society, and government through engagement with European stakeholders. UAFP aims to be a key facilitator for transformative, beneficial investments in Ukraine’s economy.”
