Ukraine has been standing its ground against Russian aggression for more than 4 years. Houses, monuments and roads, as well as hospitals and power plants, have been damaged on a wide scale. This is why it is important to support Ukraine’s reconstruction and keep essential services running. Find out how Dutch businesses are helping to achieve this.
Support for Ukraine through Dutch businesses
The government offers support for Dutch businesses that are helping Ukraine to keep society functioning, despite Russia's aggression. It’s also an opportunity for Dutch businesses to forge new partnerships. The Dutch government’s export credit insurance reduces the risks of doing business in Ukraine. There are also grants available, such as the Ukraine Partnership Facility.
Ukraine Partnership Facility
The Ukraine Partnership Facility (UPF) is a grant programme for Dutch businesses and organisations that are contributing to recovery and reconstruction in Ukraine. Examples include projects to ensure the provision of water, food, energy and healthcare, carried out in partnership with Ukrainian organisations. Some of these projects also help Ukraine work on its EU accession.
In 2025 the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs made €26.5 million available for this grant programme. Funding was also made available in 2023 and 2024. Results so far include:

Psylaris: digital trauma therapy
Psylaris has developed a virtual reality (VR) application for more effective treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression. In addition to sessions with a psychologist, patients can continue treatment from home using a VR headset. Psylaris has teamed up with PsyGlobal, which has an extensive network of Ukrainian psychologists, to make this care available to Ukrainians.

They are all committed to working with, and for, Ukraine.
