The problem
You have been circling Ukraine for eighteen months.
Someone on your board asked about Ukraine. Someone in sales met a distributor at a trade fair. You have a folder of news articles, two half-answered emails and a consultant’s quote for €40,000 you have not signed.
What you do not have is the list of companies that would actually buy what you make, checked against the business registry, with the name of the person who decides and the reason they would take your call this quarter. We have already built it.
Moving now
The money is already moving. It is not waiting for your risk assessment.
Lenders and donors have committed fresh financing for critical energy systems. In 2026, the EBRD signed a €90 million loan to rebuild Ukrenergo substations; a first €21 million tranche was announced under the EIB’s €120 million hydropower loan; and a new €30 million EU grant joined EIB-backed district-heating finance, covering up to 50% of eligible heat-supply project costs. A World Bank-financed battery tender for four hydropower sites closes on 12 November 2026.
These are dated financing and procurement steps with named counterparties. The October report follows the route from funder to buyer and shows where a supplier can begin its approach.

The standard
Checked, not scraped.
01
Registry
Every named Ukrainian company is checked against the state registry, with ownership traced and relevant sanctions and disputes flagged.
02
Funding
Every financing claim is tied to a named instrument: institution, amount and date.
03
Forcing function
Each report identifies the specific law, accession requirement or technical standard that turns interest into a deadline.
04
Limitations
Where evidence is incomplete or likely to move, the report says so and names what must be re-checked before action.
The access layer
Nobody should enter Ukraine cold.
A small number of investment offices, sector associations, industrial clusters and national export bodies convene almost every credible counterparty in each sector we cover.
Winning three of those relationships turns a campaign from cold approaches into a sequence of warm introductions. That is the backbone of every report we sell.
See how the method worksBuyer protection
We do not sell these reports to everyone.
Before releasing a report, we confirm who you are, what you make and whether the research genuinely fits your question. We also decline where a client is already working the same segment.
This protects the value of what you buy: named counterparts are not approached by six companies holding the same document in the same month.
The call takes twenty minutes. If we cannot help, we will tell you plainly.
