The 4th Congress of Designers and Engineers 2026 confirmed how many challenges the infrastructure investment market in Poland is currently facing. The event brought together representatives of the design, engineering, construction, and public administration sectors, creating a space for discussion on the key aspects of delivering modern infrastructure.<\/p>\n
During the Congress, particular attention was given to the following topics:
\u25aa\ufe0f the role of designers and engineers in the investment process
\u25aa\ufe0f investment delivery models and their impact on the quality and efficiency of projects
\u25aa\ufe0f the practical functioning of the public procurement system
\u25aa\ufe0f relationships between participants in the investment process
\u25aa\ufe0f the importance of quality and precise investor requirements
\u25aa\ufe0f infrastructure resilience in the context of contemporary threats<\/p>\n
One of the key points of the programme was the thematic debate entitled \u201cResilient infrastructure for challenging times \u2013 cybersecurity, mobility, and national security\u201d, in which dr Eng. Wojciech Oleksiewicz, Research and Development Advisor to the Management Board at TINES Rail, took part.<\/p>\n
During the discussion, it was emphasized that building resilient infrastructure today requires a systemic approach \u2013 integrating design, execution, industry, and technological solutions. It was also highlighted that cybersecurity is becoming an integral part of the design process and should be considered already at the concept stage, rather than only during implementation or operation.<\/p>\n
The debate showed that infrastructure resilience is no longer an additional feature of a project, but one of the fundamental conditions for its durability, safety, and effective performance in the long term.<\/p>\n
The conclusions drawn from the Congress confirm that the development of modern infrastructure today requires not only appropriate technologies, but also a coherent approach to design, implementation, and the practical deployment of solutions.<\/p>\n
We would like to thank the organizers of the 4th Congress of Designers and Engineers 2026 \u2013 the TOR Economic Advisors Team, the National Association of Designers and Engineers, and the Rynek Infrastruktury portal \u2013 for preparing a valuable event and creating a platform for substantive discussion on the future of infrastructure in Poland.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
