On April 16, 2026, DFC co-hosted the U.S.-Ukraine Partnership Forum with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to advance Ukraine reconstruction, recovery, and modernization efforts. DFC CEO Ben Black, Chief of Staff Conor Coleman, and Associate General Counsel Jonathan Taylor spoke at the forum, discussing the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund (URIF), which has reviewed over 200 investment submissions in sectors including energy, infrastructure, emerging technology, and critical minerals. A recent URIF investment in Sine Engineering, a GPS/navigation/counter-drone technology company, was highlighted as an example of dual-use tech critical to both Ukraine's economic growth and U.S. allied security.
