Why participate?

The aim of the Conference is to assess the worsening state of the European economy and its negative impact on the construction industry over the recent past. The breakdown of the global economy is so significant and has such large implications that the reasons for it, and its negative results, require deep analysis and evaluation.

Stagnation and even recession in European construction is now fact; thus the answers to the following questions are of great importance:

• How deep is the decline in European construction as a whole and in the particular countries likely to be? Are there, perhaps, countries that will escape the recession in construction?

• Which construction sectors (residential, non-residential or civil engineering) are the most sensitive to the crisis?

• Has the construction industry already seen its biggest fall in production, or is there worse to come? What is the situation in particular countries in the Euroconstruct network and in individual construction sectors?

• What economic factors need to come into play to stop the decline and when are they likely to be seen?

• Which players in the construction market will be worst affected by the crisis and when?

• What measures are being taken by governments and other authorities to limit the construction market crisis in particular countries?

• What is the role of EU cohesion funds in the limitation of the negative effects of the economic crisis on construction in Central-Eastern EU countries?

• To what extent has the financial turmoil affected the economies and construction markets of non-EU countries such as Russia and the Ukraine?

Two hundred decision makers and experts representing more than 20 countries from Western and Eastern Europe and overseas are expected in Warsaw on June 4-5, 2009.

The Warsaw EUROCONSTRUCT conference targets decision makers in the construction industry and related markets as well as the financial and consulting sector and it offers a wide range of advantages.
