Recently, the conference “On the Road to the URC (Ukraine Recovery Conference): Security and the Defense Dimension” was held in the Polish city of Rzeszów, bringing together officials and industry representatives to discuss the economic dimension of cooperation between Kyiv and Warsaw, with a particular focus on the defense sector.
In an interview with Ukrinform, Bartłomiej Babuśka, Chairman of the Board of Poland’s Industrial Development Agency (ARP) — a government agency overseeing more than 100 Polish state-owned enterprises and companies across a range of industries — outlined his vision for Ukrainian-Polish economic cooperation in the context of Ukraine’s reconstruction and the upcoming Ukraine Recovery Conference (URC) in Gdańsk.
As the interview was being finalized, it emerged that Mr. Babuśka had stepped down as head of the Industrial Development Agency following his appointment as Poland’s representative to the Business Advisory Council operating within the Ukraine Donor Platform. In this new role, he is expected to play an even more active part, on behalf of the Polish government, in shaping Ukraine’s investment climate and supporting the country’s postwar reconstruction.
