2012 European Cup Championships - Business Opportunities For U.S. Firms

Poland and Ukraine were recently selected to jointly host the European Cup soccer championships in June 2012.  In order to prepare for  the expected 500,000 visitors during three weeks of play, authorities in Poland and Ukraine must oversee massive building and renovation of their countries’ sports complexes, road, airport and rail infrastructures, and tourist facilities.  In Poland, three new stadiums will be built and three more renovated and expanded.  To accommodate the games as well as Poland’s growing economy, new construction is slated to create 900 kilometers of highway, full modernization of eight airports and upgrades of the country’s entire railway grid.  Funding for construction will come form central and local governments, European Union and private sources. 

U.S. companies will have significant business opportunities stemming from the 2012 build out ranging from architecture/design/engineering and construction services to equipment and support services.  CS Warsaw will counsel U.S. firms on how to best position themselves for business in this sector and will report specific trade leads as they become available.  Please check our "Latest Market Reports" section below and for more information, please contact us directly.
