17 March 2025, Airport Hotel Okęcie
The aim of the conference is to discuss the state of Polish infrastructure and cubature construction. A well-developed infrastructure is the foundation for Poland’s development. The construction industry, through investment in infrastructure and urban development, contributes to long-term economic development and stability. Good roads, railways, airports and ports enable the efficient transport of goods, reducing logistics costs. The improvement in the quality of Poland’s infrastructure has made it more attractive to foreign investors. Investment in this sector generates direct jobs in construction and indirect jobs in support services. The construction industry is one of the largest employers, moreover, construction generates demand for products and services from other sectors (e.g. building materials, equipment, transport), which in turn creates additional jobs in these industries. During the conference, together with eminent industry experts and the general public, we will show that construction plays a key role in the economy as it drives growth, creates jobs, stimulates innovation and technological progress and contributes to economic stability.
