Ukraine applied for EU membership in February 2022 and was granted EU
candidate status in June 2022. In December 2023, EU leaders decided to start
accession negotiations. The European construction market contributes
significantly to the European economy, generating over 9% of GDP,
encompassing 3 million companies and providing 18 million direct jobs. The
entry of Polish companies into the European construction market opened up
new development prospects for them, allowing them to win new contracts or
participate in international competition. At the same time, it was a great
challenge associated with the need to adapt to new conditions, norms, and
standards. The market is highly competitive, with the added complication of
a rapidly changing regulatory environment and increasing requirements for
climate change, energy efficiency, and waste management. We want to discuss
whether Ukrainian companies will be able to adapt to the requirements of
this complex sector and achieve similar success as Polish companies and
whether cooperation between the two countries in this area is possible.
Key Questions for Discussion:
* What EU requirements and standards in the construction sector require the
most adaptation in Ukraine?
* How can Poland's experience assist Ukrainian construction material
manufacturers in preparing for integration into the European market?
* What investment and technological cooperation opportunities exist between
Polish and Ukrainian companies in the construction industry?
* How can we promote sustainable development in the Ukrainian construction
sector in the context of European integration?
KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:
* STEFAN BEKIR ASSANOWICZ, Vice president of the Polish Chamber of Commerce,
former president of construction companies Budimex-Dromex and RUBAU;
* HENNADIY FARENUIK, Member of the Board of Directors of the Ukrainian
Building Company (KBU), Director of the Research Institute of Building
Structures;
* KONRAD WYRWAS, Director of Development Strategy, Polish Association of
