Switzerland's State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) has announced the third round of its investment project competition for Ukraine's economic recovery and reconstruction, with a total budget of 50 million Swiss francs, Ukraine's Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture reported.
The grant funding targets private sector projects across a broad range of industries, including construction, mechanical engineering, renewable energy, infrastructure, industrial production, agribusiness, IT, and digitalization. All projects must be completed by 2031 and will operate on a co-financing basis, meaning applicants are expected to contribute their own resources alongside the Swiss grant.
Deputy Minister of Economy Yehor Perelihin underscored the initiative's long-term ambitions.
"The Swiss side supports investment projects implemented through Ukrainian enterprises that create lasting value for Ukraine's economy," he said, adding that the ministry expects applications that will drive modernization, expand production and infrastructure, generate jobs, and contribute to sustainable economic recovery.
The application window opened on May 27 and runs until September 20, 2026. The ministry emphasized that submissions received after the deadline will not be considered.
Full details on eligibility criteria, participation conditions, and required documentation are available on SECO's official competition website.
