International private-sector investment will play a key role.
The New Gauge Initiative is a US-based non-profit business association focusing on the reconstruction and European-integration of Ukraine’s rail infrastructure. The planning for the work ahead begins now.
The New Gauge Initiative is now finalizing its status as a 501(с)3 and 501(с)6, based in DC. We are strategic partners with the Association of Railway Carriers of Ukraine (UAP) in Kyiv, though both organizations are entirely separate.
The UAP association was formed in Kyiv in 2021, before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, in order to reform, integrate, and modernize the country's railway infrastructure.
New Gauge is working with UAP to promote reform and international private-sector investment in Ukraine’s rail infrastructure. Together, international and Ukrainian businesses can build a cleaner, more sustainable, and more competitive railway system - and one fully integrated with the EU. Ukraine is a crucial link between the Baltic, Black, and Adriatic seas, therefore ensuring European security and the steady supply of food to the Global South.
Even as the war continues, the time for planning the rebuilding and reform of Ukraine’s railway infrastructure is now. The groundwork needs to be developed in order to facilitate private-sector investment. And businesses need to learn of the opportunities for investing in Ukraine, while developing the mechanisms to protect against risk.
New Gauge’s experts have more than 30 years experience in Eastern European markets in railway transport, logistics, and investment attraction.
New Gauge provides a platform for US firms and the American private sector - with our Ukrainian, G7, and international partners - to take a leading role in the competition-based rebuilding of Ukraine's rail infrastructure.
New Gauge is working to raise the funding necessary for independent research and analysis for rebuilding and reforming the Ukrainian rail system. Such an ambitious study will be conducted in the context of speeding Ukraine’s economic recovery, harnessing private-sector power, and fostering competition in Ukraine and a strong regulatory environment for international investors.
As a non-profit business association, New Gauge will partner with other organizations and leading businesses to organize conferences, events, and roadshows in the US and Europe, as well as to develop informational resources for its membership.
