SUMMARY:California Trade Mission: Poland and Ukraine
DESCRIPTION:The Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) invites California companies to participate in a focused trade mission to Poland\, with a spotlight on the energy and construction sectors—and an eye toward critical rebuilding efforts in Ukraine. \nWhy Poland and Ukraine? \nPoland is one of the fastest-growing economies in the European Union\, investing heavily in modernizing its energy infrastructure\, expanding renewable energy capacity\, and upgrading its built environment. With over $100 billion in EU funds earmarked for energy transition and infrastructure\, Poland is a strategic gateway for California companies seeking growth in Central and Eastern Europe. \nMeanwhile\, Ukraine’s urgent reconstruction needs\, driven by war-related destruction\, have created massive demand for innovative technologies\, sustainable building practices\, and resilient energy systems. California firms have the chance to contribute expertise and solutions while forging long-term commercial relationships in a region undergoing historic transformation. \nCalifornia’s strengths in clean energy\, advanced construction technologies\, and climate-smart infrastructure align well with both Polish modernization goals and Ukraine’s rebuilding priorities—positioning our companies as ideal partners. \nEvent Highlights: \nPoland \n\nBriefings: Gain valuable insights from industry experts and US officials on market trends and opportunities in Poland and Ukraine.\nReception: Build relationships with Polish and Ukrainian stakeholders\, government officials\, and private sector decision-makers.
