Ukraine Facility Platform

What Ukraine Facility Platform does

Ukraine Facility Platform (UAFP) is a non-profit coordination and advisory organisation established on March 6, 2024 in Brussels by the Human Capital Center (Kyiv) and the Institute for Global Transformation (Brussels), with the backing of the Mission of Ukraine to the European Union. It operates from offices in Brussels (headquarters) and Kyiv with a team of 9 employees, and its Coordination Committee includes senior figures such as the CEO of NEC Ukrenergo, a former Ukrainian Minister of Agriculture, an Advisor to the Minister of Strategic Industries, a former Dutch Ambassador to Ukraine, and a former senior diplomat.

UAFP's core products are sector-specific 'Collaborative Toolkits': the ENERGY Collaborative Effort Toolkit (an eight-step framework for decentralised, investment-ready energy solutions grounded in analysis of 18 Ukrainian territorial communities), the Defence Collaborative Toolkit (for integrating Ukraine's defence industry into European weapons production), and the Collaborative Investment Toolkit for Agriculture (covering war risk insurance mechanisms, fast-track procedures, and regional innovation clusters). These are complemented by the EU-UA Strategic Defence Advisory Group, which convenes analysts from the Netherlands, Germany, France, Poland, the UK, and Ukraine, plus analytical publications, policy briefs, and a podcast ('UAFP Live').

UAFP does not sell commercial products or services and operates as a policy and stakeholder-coordination platform funded through grants and institutional support. Its 'go-to-market' consists of strategic dialogues and conferences across European capitals (Berlin, Brussels, Rome, The Hague), direct engagement with Ukrainian ministries, EU institutions, development banks (EIB, World Bank, KfW, EBRD, IFC, DFC), and national business associations. Its addressable stakeholders span Ukrainian and European businesses, regional authorities and communities, government officials, international financial institutions, and EU political and regulatory bodies.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Berlin Economics: Berlin Economics is a German policy advisory firm focused on economic reform and EU integration in Eastern European and Central Asian countries. It is a direct peer because UAFP explicitly partners with Berlin Economics on private investment roundtables and energy/defence investment opportunities, with overlapping Ukraine-focused advisory work.
• Green Deal Ukraine: Green Deal Ukraine is an NGO focused on climate-aligned reconstruction and green energy transition in Ukraine. It is a direct peer because UAFP lists it as a partner in energy sector events (e.g., the 'Strategies in Action' Berlin event), and they share the same mission of mobilising European support for Ukraine's green reconstruction.
• Open Door Ukraine: Open Door Ukraine is a platform that connects Ukrainian and European stakeholders for decentralised energy and infrastructure cooperation. It is a direct peer because UAFP co-organises conferences with them (e.g., Clingendael Institute event) and they operate in the same Ukraine-EU dialogue and energy investment space.

Broad incumbents

• Carnegie Europe: Carnegie Europe is a foreign policy think tank based in Brussels covering EU affairs, security, and Ukraine. It is a broad incumbent comparable to UAFP because both publish analytical work on Ukraine-EU cooperation and engage EU institutional stakeholders, with Carnegie having established brand authority and wider thematic scope.
• Centre for European Policy Studies (CEPS): CEPS is a leading Brussels-based think tank producing research on EU economic, security, and neighbourhood policy. It is a broad incumbent comparable to UAFP because both produce policy briefs and convening platforms targeting EU institutional stakeholders, with CEPS covering Ukraine policy within a broader EU agenda.
• European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR): ECFR is a pan-European foreign policy think tank with extensive coverage of Ukraine, defence integration, and EU enlargement. It is a broad incumbent comparable to UAFP because both produce policy analysis, organise dialogues, and aim to influence EU policy on Ukraine, though ECFR has a much larger pan-European network and budget.
• European Policy Centre (EPC): EPC is a Brussels-based think tank producing policy analysis on EU integration, enlargement, and neighbourhood policy. It is a broad incumbent comparable to UAFP because both operate in the EU-Ukraine policy advisory space from Brussels, though EPC has broader thematic coverage and a much larger permanent staff.

Regional players

• Razumkov Centre: Razumkov Centre is a leading Ukrainian think tank conducting policy research on political, economic, and security issues. It is a regional peer comparable to UAFP because both operate from Ukraine producing policy analysis and advisory work, though Razumkov focuses primarily on domestic Ukrainian policy rather than EU-integration coordination.
• International Renaissance Foundation: International Renaissance Foundation is a major Ukrainian philanthropic foundation supporting civil society, governance reforms, and EU integration. It is a regional peer comparable to UAFP because both operate from Kyiv as non-profit platforms supporting Ukraine's European integration, though the Foundation focuses on civil society grant-making rather than direct sector coordination.

Others

• European Investment Bank (EIB): EIB is the EU's financing institution and a major funder of Ukraine's reconstruction. It is an ecosystem participant comparable to UAFP because EIB is a Core partner of UAFP and central to UAFP's Energy Toolkit deployment — UAFP's influence ultimately routes through EIB's capital deployment decisions.
