Four Pillars of Our Mission
  • Technology Bridge
    Connecting those who develop coating technologies with those who apply and procure them.
    Creating an environment where solutions emerge at the intersection of technology and real industrial demand.
  • Unlocking Market Potential
    Supporting the development of Ukraine’s industrial coatings market through both local manufacturing and access to leading international technologies and solutions.
  • Navigating Regulatory Change
    Helping the Ukrainian coatings industry adapt to EU standards and regulatory requirements, while improving quality and transparency for both local and international market participants.
  • Business Platform
    Creating a platform where business discussions can turn into actual contracts during the conference through structured B2B matchmaking between suppliers and industrial buyers.
b2b Matchmaking
A personal schedule of relevant business meetings instead of random networking.
Industrial buyers specify their technical needs in advance. Suppliers can then select meetings based on those specific requirements.

As a result, participants attend meetings that are directly relevant to their technologies, products and business objectives.
