The team of NOVA Energiya, a Ukrainian NGO, took part in the online forum Rebuild Ukraine 2025: International Support and New Opportunities for Business, organized by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC Ukraine). The organization was represented by Marina Buzan-Svirska, project manager and coordinator of the EITI Data Portal.

The forum served as a key platform for discussing Ukraine’s recovery strategies. It brought together representatives from business, international organizations, and financial institutions. In total, more than 180 companies from 26 countries joined the event, highlighting global interest in Ukraine’s reconstruction.

For more than 15 years, Ukraine has been actively working to enhance transparency and accountability in key economic sectors. One such initiative is the Open Data Portal for the Extractive Industries (EITI Portal) — a tool designed to reduce corruption risks and improve public access to critical data.

During her presentation, Marina Buzan-Svirska shared NOVA Energiya’s experience using the DREAM and Prozorro digital platforms — tools that cover the full cycle of recovery projects, from planning and budgeting to procurement and implementation.

“The recovery project lifecycle begins in DREAM and continues in Prozorro for procurement. It’s a transparent and clear process: if a company meets the technical criteria, follows the procedure, and offers the lowest price — they win the contract. This creates real opportunities for attracting international funding and enabling foreign businesses to engage in Ukraine’s recovery,” explained Marina Buzan-Svirska.

NOVA Energiya cooperates with ICC Ukraine under a signed Memorandum of Understanding, which has laid the foundation for systematic communication, coordination of joint initiatives, and the development of effective recovery strategies.

During the forum, ICC Ukraine also presented the Rebuild Ukraine platform — a tool for coordinating investment programs. It will help international companies monitor recovery projects and make informed decisions about participating in them.

NOVA Energiya shared practical insights on how to use these digital tools to strengthen transparency and efficiency in reconstruction. We hope these examples will inspire other stakeholders to join Ukraine’s recovery — openly, effectively, and in partnership.
