Light in frontline cities, new production in Kremenchuk of fasteners for European gauge, housing for displaced persons, and modern hospitals for Ukrainians.

• construction of 11 solar power plants with energy storage for Mykolaivvodokanal pumping stations (Elektrobedarf Troller — CHF 1.7 million francs);
• creation of a production of fasteners in Kremenchuk for the transition to the European gauge of 1435 mm, which will create up to 20 new jobs (Schwihag — 14.4 million francs);
• production of contact wires for railway electrification and training of Ukrzaliznytsia personnel (Arthur Flury — 12.9 million francs).

Housing

• construction of modular homes for IDPs, local production in Vinnytsia, over 50 new jobs (Divario — 15 million francs);

• replacement of over 32,000 windows in destroyed buildings in Kharkiv and eastern regions (Glas Trösch — 9.9 million francs);

Education

• creation of a repair workshop, new equipment, and drones to enhance the capabilities of the State Emergency Service (Fondation Suisse de Déminage — 6.4 million francs).

The Prime Minister emphasized that the initial budget for the competition was 50 million francs. However, due to high business interest — Swiss companies submitted a total of 43 applications for over 500 million francs — the competition budget was almost doubled. Part of the project cost will be financed by the Swiss private sector.
