Krivyi Rih 250: Shaping a shared vision for recovery

On 28 November 2025, LuxDev took part in the “Kryvyi Rih 250: A regional pole of growth in the context of Ukraine’s recovery and reconstruction” conference, an important milestone marking the 250th anniversary of Kryvyi Rih and opening a dialogue on the long-term future of Kryvyi Rih Raion.

Together with national and local authorities, international organisations, donors, businesses, and investors, the event highlighted the strategic potential of the Raion. The shared mission: explore how green, inclusive, and sustainable investments can fuel a resilient, vibrant recovery and transform the region for decades to come.

Organised by the Kryvyi Rih City Council and the Kryvyi Rih Raion Military (State) Administration, in close collaboration with the Support for the recovery of Kryvyi Rih Raion project, the conference provided a platform for high-level exchanges, bringing together more than 200 participants attending in Kyiv and connecting online from the Diia.Business Centre in Kryvyi Rih.

From agriculture and energy security, to private-sector resilience, innovation, and circular-economy solutions — the thematic panels touched on all the building blocks for a future-ready region.

This conference reaffirmed Luxembourg Development Cooperation’s commitment to contribute to Kryvyi Rih Raion’s sustainable recovery and long-term development.

The Support for the recovery of Kryvyi Rih Raion project is funded by the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and implemented by LuxDev, the Luxembourg Development Cooperation Agency, in partnership with Proman and the Business Development Fund.
