Participation of Polish specialists in THE "NEW KHARKHORUM CITY" competition announced by the Government of Mongolia for the construction of a new city.
It is with great satisfaction that we announce that after many years of participation of Polish specialists in the construction of industrial facilities in Mongolia, the Board Member of the European Business Club Poland Maciej Burchardt, President of Projekt Budu company together with a team of distinguished architects, planners, engineers and experts are participating in the competition called: THE “NEW KHARKHORUM CITY” OF MONGOLIA MASTER PLANNING OVERVIEW, CONCEPTS AND GUIDELINE FOR INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION” announced by the Government of Mongolia in the following announcement:
As of 2019, European Business Club Poland has been making efforts to attract Polish entrepreneurs to the Mongolian market. The Economic Missions of the European Business Club Poland to Mongolia, including the one organized on April 5-10, 2022 under the leadership of President Janusz Cieslak, served this purpose. The Mission included representatives of the aviation, construction, food, textile and legal industries. The contacts that were made at that time resulted in our invitation to participate in this competition. One of the participants of the Mission was President Maciej Burchardt, who on the spot became convinced of the great potential inherent in cooperation with Mongolian partners, particularly in the construction sector. And it was our colleague who took on the great challenge of building Mongolia’s new capital. It should be noted, however, that Maciej Burchardt thus refers to the great tradition of Polish-Mongolian cooperation, in which Polish engineers years ago assisted our friends in Mongolia in the design and construction of industrial facilities in Mongolia. Examples of their achievements include:
1. arch. Maria Nowak – Chief Designer of the thermal power plant in Ulan Bator
2. Eng. Piotr Wisniewski – responsible for the implementation of the Building Materials Production Plant in Mongolia
3. Eng. Anna Lewandowska – responsible for overseeing the modernization of key road sections in Mongolia
4. Eng. Zdzislaw Banasik – Chief Designer responsible for supervising the construction and implementation of the Building Carpentry and Furniture Combine in Ulan Bator
Participation in an international competition is a challenge, but also a great prestige. Therefore, together let’s keep our fingers firmly crossed for success in this endeavor. As Maciej Burchardt says: “we will try to meet all the requirements set by the organizers and create the best city for living, development and tourism.”
We wish you the best of luck!

The computers sent in for evaluation had to achieve CB product safety certification, meet very high requirements in terms of energy efficiency by meeting the Energy Star standard, in terms of loudness, and many other indicators.

EBC Poland supports the efforts of the Ombudsman for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises in the matter of “defrosting the economy” by 1 July 2020.

Administrator EKB ,

The European Business Club Poland as an organization of entrepreneurs, which is part of the Council of Entrepreneurs at the Ombudsman for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, fully supports the Ombudsman’s efforts to address the Prime Minister with an appeal to lift restrictions, concerning companies’ activities in coronavirus pandemic, by 1 July 2020.

Our Association understood the Government’s actions aimed at fighting coronavirus with understanding, including those that led to the limitation or closure of some companies. However, the restrictions that are long-term has a negative impact on the economy, and in particular on the activity of small and medium-sized family businesses. In order to avoid irreversible economic consequences, we believe that this is the time to move to the stage of “defrosting the economy” and starting the process of its recovery. Entrepreneurs must know the maximum period during which they will have to finance downtime. Aid funds from the so-called anti-crisis shield, allow only for partial financing of companies, that have already been forced to cease operations or to reduce it. In the absence of specific information on how long they will have to add to their companies, entrepreneurs are not able to estimate whether they will be able to afford it, therefore, despite efforts to maintain job positions, they are forced to terminate contracts with employees, which may soon result in surge in unemployment.

The frozen activity of companies, in whole or in part, and, consequently, their inability to pay taxes, while providing funds to support them from the budget, may lead to the collapse of public finances, massive unemployment as well as –  to wrecking of our economic growth that has already been made with a difficulty. Therefore, it is necessary for the Government to start a quick return to economic normality, while taking into account the use of all available methods to ensure the safety of employees and clients, and to complete this process no later than 1 July 2020.
