The strategy envisages the restoration and renewal of industry after the war, with a focus on increasing efficiency, sustainability and involvement in global production chains.

It aims to develop a modern, competitive and export-oriented industry, strengthen ties with the EU market, support businesses and create new high-quality jobs.

According to Deputy Minister Andriy Teliupa, Ukraine is focusing on industries where it has obvious competitive advantages, such as steel, titanium, lithium and graphite production, renewable energy and digital technologies.

"The combination of these resources and innovations will make it possible to create modern production facilities and ensure economic sustainability and strategic autonomy," Teliupa emphasized.

To implement the strategy, it is planned to create a roadmap for the transition from emergency measures to sustainable growth.

This will involve reforming existing support programs, launching public-private dialogue platforms, and implementing smart specialization strategies aligned with EU standards.

Challenges that the strategy takes into account:

→ destruction of industrial infrastructure as a result of the war;
→ high dependence on the raw material model;
→ low productivity of state-owned enterprises;
→ insufficient level of innovation and technology;
→ inherited high carbon intensity of production

The strategy is scheduled to be finalized by the end of 2025, and its implementation is envisaged for the period of 2026-2030.

The document is being developed by the Ministry of Economy in cooperation with the World Bank, OECD, UNIDO and Kyiv School of Economics.
