MAIN ObJECTIvE
In times of crisis it is even more important to focus on the opportunities available. The main objective of this conference
organized by the Danish embassy in Warsaw is to promote the knowledge of opportunities related to infrastructure
projects and the public procurement market in poland. The conference will provide specific knowledge about project
opportunities in the key sectors as well as hands-on recommendations for successful participation in public tenders
in poland.
OPPORTUNITIES IN POLAND
The polish infrastructure projects market has been developing very rapidly over last months fuelled by the large inflow
of eu funds and preparations for the uefa euro 2012 Tournament. The years 2009 and 2010 will be of key importance
for contracting major infrastructure projects in order to meet internal and international deadlines. The development of
polish infrastructure projects is not only based on eu funding, but also on substantial state financing and resources
coming from international financial institutions such as eIB, eBrD and the World Bank.
