Your flagship city in the South of Ukraine
Mykolaiv was once world-renowned as a key hub of shipbuilding and engineering. The Russian army has damaged the heavy industry facilities, but the expertise and large infrastructure network of ports, railways, and roads are still there.
Mykolaiv has been encountering the greatest challenges in the realm of urban water and energy supply since April 2022. It is one of the free cities in Ukraine that puts the development of its critical water and energy infrastructure on top of its list of priorities.
Another factor that plays a pivotal role in the city is its human capital. The recovery of Mykolaiv will go hand in hand with capacity-building measures such as educational programs, trainings, and more.
