2026 Investment and Construction Congress attracted over 4,000 participants in Kyiv

On 26 March, the Parkovy Exhibition and Convention Centre hosted the 2026 Investment and Construction Congress, as well as the REM Awards and ‘Interior of the Year. Real Estate 2026’ ceremonies, which brought together 4,033 participants – developers, investors, architects, and representatives from government and business.

According to the organisers, this year’s congress was dedicated to the role of real estate and development as tools for economic growth, Ukraine’s recovery and the transformation of the urban environment.

The event featured an official opening attended by representatives of state and city authorities, as well as a press conference entitled “Urban Environment Development Strategy: Me, You, Society”, which set the tone for the event. The programme also included a panel discussion titled “The Property Market in 2026”, a discussion on the interaction between developers and estate agents, a session on factors driving property value growth, and a discussion on urban planning reform.

According to the organisers, the key takeaways from the congress were the market’s transition from a phase of adaptation to the formation of a new model, the growing role of development in the country’s reconstruction, a shift in focus from square metres to the quality of the environment, and the increasing importance of trust, reputation and human capital for companies in the sector.

The evening part of the event included the presentation of awards to the winners of the REM Awards and the ‘Interior of the Year 2026’ competition, as well as a charity auction and a special performance by Valery Kharchyshyn, frontman of the band ‘Druga Rika’.

The general partner of the event was ‘Creator-Bud’, the premium partner was Europzol, and
