PR_MCShelter's Consortium of the Economy of Trust Ukraine Business Coalition
Shelter’s Consortium is an operational business platform established to implement dual-use shelter projects in Ukraine through public-private partnership (PPP) mechanisms.
The Consortium brings together businesses, municipalities, developers, and financial institutions to create new infrastructure that simultaneously serves civil protection purposes and generates economic value in peacetime – namely, facilities that:
- meet safety standards,
- have a clear operational model,
- attract private capital,
- are financially viable.
The Consortium’s key approach is to transform the role of shelters: from a cost-intensive infrastructure element into a fully-fledged investment asset. Within this model, shelters are considered multifunctional facilities integrated into the urban environment and used in everyday life as commercial, social, or infrastructure spaces, while maintaining their primary safety function.
Shelter’s Consortium acts as an implementation platform that ensures the full project lifecycle -from concept development and financing preparation to construction support and further operation of the facilities.
A particular focus is placed on the implementation of modern technological solutions, including modular construction, autonomous life-support systems, smart management, and BIM design, as well as on adapting international best practices – particularly the Finnish model of integrating shelters into urban infrastructure.
The role of business within the Consortium
The Consortium creates an ecosystem in which each participant plays a clearly defined role in the implementation of shelter projects:
1. Construction companies
execution of construction works
acting as general contractors
2. Engineering and design companies
development of project documentation
implementation of BIM solutions
design of safety, ventilation, and energy-efficiency systems
3. Developers
integration of shelters into residential and commercial projects
management of facilities and their commercial components
4. Manufacturers of construction and technological solutions
supply of structures (concrete, modules)
provision of ventilation, energy, and safety systems
implementation of innovative technologies
5. Financial partners and investors
project financing
participation in PPP models
long-term investment
The Consortium’s business model is based on the principles of public-private partnership, where the state and municipalities create demand and enabling conditions, while the private sector provides investment, construction, and efficient operation of the facilities.
Thus, Shelter’s Consortium is shaping a new market, the market of dual-use infrastructure, combining safety, economic feasibility, and investment attractiveness.
