From Framework to Execution: Next Generation Village Enters Foundation Stage
Ukraine will be the first country to integrate physical and digital infrastructure, and this month the first projects crossed the line from planning into structured delivery.
- The first four Infrastructure International Coalition Task Forces are launched - Energy, Water Management, Waste Management and Industrial Base - and Sweco now runs regular working sessions with Business Coalition clients.
- Next Generation Village has entered its Foundation Stage across three pilot sites - Koblevo, Stryi and Boryspil - as a PPP with Sweco and CDM Engineering.
- Green Coordinate joins the Business Coalition and starts a 90-day project screening, with a decision on the first pilot candidate by mid-December.
Economy of Trust Ukraine Business Coalition Update
The Business Coalition continues to grow alongside our project pipeline and the industries we serve. More companies are entering the structured qualification process, and the depth of engagement is shifting from introductory conversations to active project matching and sector integration. The Coalition remains the single entry point into Economy of Trust Ukraine’s infrastructure delivery ecosystem, and the pace of that ecosystem is accelerating.
On the operational side, we have launched the first four Infrastructure International Coalition Task Forces: Energy, Water Management, Waste Management, and Industrial Base. Last Wednesday we held the first introductory working session with Sweco for Business Coalition clients. Companies from across our current client base participated, representing water management, security, road infrastructure, and energy sectors. These sessions will now run on a regular basis, giving Coalition clients direct access to Sweco’s master planning process as municipal projects move through development.

From Market Entry to Design-Phase Access
The Next Generation Village is an integrated campus combining Rodovid Global University and NESA sports-academic facilities across three pilot sites: Koblevo, Stryi, and Boryspil. Structured as a PPP with Sweco and CDM Engineering, the project follows a seven-stage lifecycle from Concept through Operations, with each stage producing defined deliverables and creating entry points for different types of companies.
The Foundation Stage (Months 0 to 6) is now underway, covering program governance, baseline site studies, and stakeholder engagement. The Planning and Financing Stage follows immediately with master planning, permitting, financial modeling, and PPP financial close. For companies, the takeaway is simple: the earlier you enter, the more you shape project requirements before they are locked.

Business of the Month: Green Coordinate
This month we welcome Green Coordinate as the newest client of the Business Coalition. Green Coordinate develops distributed Energy Island projects that convert locally available biomass, agro-waste, and residual waste into dispatchable local power, heat, and hydrogen-ready solutions using modular Hyrogas gasification technology. Their systems start at 500 kWe and scale into island clusters.
For Ukraine, this technology is directly relevant: municipalities across our economic zones face critical energy supply challenges, and decentralized, fuel-flexible generation is exactly the type of solution that fits the municipal infrastructure model we are building. Green Coordinate begins its 90-day project screening with EoTU this week, targeting priority geographies in the Carpathian and Southern Economic Zones with a decision on the first pilot candidate by mid-December.
Updated Frequently Asked Questions
Over the past three months we have collected every question that came in from companies during onboarding conversations, qualification calls, and working sessions. Topics ranged from how the IIC Task Forces operate and what Sweco’s role looks like in practice, to contract structures, project timelines, and what happens after a company is matched to a project. We compiled all of these into a single updated FAQ document that replaces the previous version.
Whether you are a new company considering joining or an existing client looking for clarity on the next steps, this document covers it. We recommend reviewing it as your first reference point for any questions about how the Business Coalition and the broader ecosystem work.
Ukraine’s next infrastructure cycle is taking shape now. Join us and help shape it.
