Concept: International Construction Business Meeting (ICBM) - 3rd Edition.
Poland is entering a new high-investment cycle driven by EU cohesion funding and the Next Generation EU, with a strong impact across construction, infrastructure, engineering services, MEP systems and real estate.
Major programmes such as the Central Communication Port and the launch of the Polish nuclear programme are generating a large and complex pipeline of projects, alongside a dynamic real estate market for 2026-2028.
In this context, the key question is no longer only what will be built, but how projects will be delivered - in terms of execution models, industrial capacity, partnerships and supply chain integration.
The International Construction Business Meeting (ICBM) - 3rd Edition is designed as an operational business platform connecting Poland's major investment programmes with companies capable of delivering them.
Through a combination of targeted panel discussions and structured B2B networking sessions, the event provides both a practical understanding of project pipelines and direct access to business opportunities.
