The ongoing war in Ukraine has caused immense disruption, with communities, infrastructure, and livelihoods severely affected and losses estimated at over €170 billion. Amidst this devastation, Ukrainian entrepreneurs are stepping up to “build back better” and reimagine solutions for their communities. Their efforts showcase how people-powered prosperity driven by innovation, resilience, and local initiative can play a critical role in shaping a sustainable post-conflict recovery for Ukraine.

This event will provide an opportunity for participants to engage with insights from the IGP x Fast Forward 2030 White Paper, “Building Bridges for Ukraine,” and hear directly from entrepreneurs who are already taking action to rebuild Ukraine whilst in pursuit of lasting peace.

We will explore the central question: How can entrepreneurship accelerate Ukraine’s reconstruction?

Join us for an insightful evening and the opportunity to network with entrepreneurs, policymakers, investors, academics, students and development partners engaged in Ukraine’s post-conflict recovery

This Fast Forward 2030 panel discussion marks the launch of Roadkill: Unveiling the True Cost of Our Toxic Relationship with Cars, a provocative new book by FF2030 co-founders Arthur Kay and Professor Dame Henrietta Moore. In line with FF2030’s mission to showcase innovative business models tackling urgent global challenges, we are bringing together a panel of entrepreneurs who are rethinking how we move through cities and reshaping their futures, not just in how we travel but also in how we design, use and reuse things.
