Taiwanese businesses are increasingly looking to partner with Poland on projects linked to the future reconstruction of Ukraine. Speaking at the Rebuild Ukraine conference in Warsaw, Cynthia Kiang, Taiwan’s Deputy Minister of Economic Affairs, highlighted Poland’s strategic role as both a gateway to the EU market and a crucial logistical bridge to Ukraine.
According to Kiang, Taiwan’s strong position as a global ICT and high-tech leader makes cooperation with Poland a natural fit. This year, 31 Taiwanese companies joined the Rebuild Ukraine fair — double last year’s number — offering solutions in areas such as computing and smart grids, renewable energy, engineering, construction, machinery, and wider ICT technologies.
“We see Poland and Ukraine as key partners for Taiwan due to their strategic location. Poland is especially important as a bridge into the EU and into Ukraine,” Kiang said. She added that Poland’s strong technological ecosystem and skilled workforce make it a valuable partner for collaborative reconstruction projects.
Polish officials share this view. MichaĹ Jaros, Poland’s Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Technology, told PAP Biznes that cooperation with Taiwan and other global partners represents a major opportunity for Polish companies. He identified several sectors with high potential in Ukraine’s rebuilding effort, including construction, energy (especially distributed energy), infrastructure, advanced technologies, and medical devices such as prosthetics.
Jaros emphasised that Polish businesses are not only seeking reconstruction contracts — they also expect reforms in Ukraine that will improve the long-term investment climate. He noted Poland’s evolving role: from humanitarian and military hub at the start of the war, to a future international coordination centre for Ukraine’s reconstruction.
The fair in Warsaw attracted companies and delegations from across the world, including the United States (California), Taiwan, and Japan, underlining the global scale of interest in Ukraine’s recovery. According to Jaros, joint investments with partners from Japan and Taiwan — both leaders in advanced technology — will be a major advantage for Polish firms as they enter the Ukrainian market.
