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.”
