About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to facilitate a more resilient and sustainable future for Ukraine by enabling rapid, informed, and effective reconstruction of critical infrastructure.
We help decision-makers, organisations, and government bodies reconnect cities, restore critical infrastructure, and accelerate Ukraine’s recovery through resilience-based strategies and clear prioritisation frameworks. We are committed to minimising environmental impact, reusing materials, and ensuring reconstruction investments deliver maximum societal and economic value. Through clear metrics and our capacity-building programme, we empower Ukrainian engineers with Eurocode-based design knowledge, supporting a safe, integrated, and sustainable recovery for Ukraine.
Vision
Our vision is to ensure critical decisions for financing and reconstruction are grounded in evidence by collecting and analysing data – from satellite imagery to digital twins – to prioritise what matters most for Ukraine’s future. To realise this vision, we seek partnerships with researchers, experts, charities, and non-profits, as well as research funding and on-the-ground collaboration in Ukraine, to rebuild a country where people feel integrated, secure, and hopeful for the future.
Our Team
United by a shared goal to rebuild and empower Ukraine, our team brings expertise in civil engineering, digital technologies, education, and international collaboration.
