On 15–16 July 2026, the Spain–Ukraine Business Summit took place in Kyiv, serving as a strategic platform for coordinating efforts in investment, innovation, and Ukraine’s post-war reconstruction. The event brought together government officials and business leaders from both countries to discuss priority actions in the energy, transport, and digitalization sectors.
The Summit was opened by Oleksii Sobolev, Ukraine’s Minister of Economy, Environment and Agriculture, and Carlos Cuerpo, First Vice-President of the Government of Spain and Minister of Economy, Trade and Business.
“When we talk about reconstruction, we are not only talking about rebuilding what has been destroyed. We are talking about economic growth. We are talking about future prosperity. As I understand it, the level of interest from Spanish companies this time is unprecedented. And that is a very good sign,” Carlos Cuerpo noted.
Accompanying Spain’s Deputy Prime Minister was a delegation of 50 Spanish companies. Throughout the two-day programme, government representatives and business executives discussed investment projects and the participation of Spanish companies in Ukraine’s reconstruction efforts. Member companies of the Ukrainian Wind Energy Association (UWEA) actively contributed to the Summit’s agenda. Representatives of the wind energy sector participated in focused B2B and B2G meetings with their Spanish counterparts. These direct discussions addressed practical issues ranging from securing financial instruments for the development of decentralized power generation to identifying technology partners for future projects.
Ukrainian Wind Energy Association emphasizes that strengthening bilateral cooperation will facilitate the transfer of Spain’s advanced expertise and investment, accelerating the deployment of wind energy technologies and modern energy storage systems in Ukraine.
Ukrainian Wind Energy Association extends its sincere gratitude to the Spanish Bureau for Ukraine Rebuilding and the Embassy of Spain in Ukraine for the invitation and for organizing such an important event.
