California Trade Mission on Poland and Ukraine

Why Poland and Ukraine?
Driven by increased NATO investment and regional security priorities, Poland has become a strategic gateway for U.S. aerospace and defense companies seeking opportunities across Central and Eastern Europe. Strong demand for advanced technologies, unmanned systems, aerospace components, cybersecurity, and infrastructure resilience creates significant opportunities for California companies.

At the same time, significant EU funding is driving the energy transition, and Poland is making major investments in energy modernization, renewable deployment, and infrastructure upgrades. In neighboring Ukraine, reconstruction efforts are generating substantial demand for innovative construction solutions, resilient infrastructure, and advanced energy systems. California companies are uniquely positioned to contribute expertise while building long-term commercial partnerships in a region undergoing historic transformation.
