On the first day of the event, Cătălin Podaru, CEO of Ubitech Constructii, delivered a speech on the reconstruction of Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of creating more working groups so that construction companies in Romania can better understand how they can contribute to the reconstruction of the neighboring country. In this context, Cătălin Podaru pointed out that there are already countries involved in the reconstruction of Ukraine.

“Participating in the reconstruction of Ukraine, especially as a neighbor, with such a large border, I believe it is a moral imperative, but I also believe it is a pragmatic approach, because we want this country to revive, adhere to European values and be a partner in this common front,” said Cătălin Podaru, CEO of Ubitech Constructii.

Ubitech Constructii supported the organization of this event as a Gold Partner and will continue to promote other initiatives in the field of national security.
