In late June, an event took place in Gdańsk, Poland—held for the fifth time—that brings together representatives from the democratic world to discuss the post-war recovery and reconstruction of Ukraine.

The Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026 featured a dedicated track for security and defense issues and hosted over 7,000 attendees, the majority of whom represent the business community, the defense sector, and Ukraine’s civil society.

A significant number of sessions also focused on supporting and restoring Ukraine’s human capital, with a particular emphasis on education for both children and adults.
