The launch of the portal is the first practical step toward deploying investments in 2026, following the confirmation in December that the Fund is fully operational.

Companies and investors that have projects in the Fund’s target sectors and are ready to attract financing can submit project proposals via the online portal. 

URIF will consider project proposals in its target sectors, including critical minerals (upstream and midstream), energy (including generation, transmission, and extraction of hydrocarbons), transport and logistics, information and communication technologies, and emerging technologies. During its initial years, the Fund plans to prioritize equity investments and equity-like instruments.

After an application is submitted, the Fund’s team conducts a preliminary review of the proposal. If there is interest, the applicant is contacted to clarify details and to request additional materials (including the financial model, project structure, confirmation of readiness for implementation, information on partners, etc.). Project evaluation also includes an analysis of key risks and risk-mitigation approaches; requirements and instruments may vary depending on the sector, project stage, and financing structure.

The U.S.–Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund was established under an agreement between Ukraine and the United States. The Fund’s initial capital has been formed through equal contributions from both parties – USD 75 mln from the United States via DFC and USD 75 mln from Ukraine totalling USD 150 mln in seed capital. The Fund’s governance structure includes a Board of Directors and four specialized committees: Investment, Audit, Administrative, and Project Origination. The Fund has also appointed its key operating partner, Alvarez & Marsal (A&M), which serves as the Fund’s investment advisor.
