The discussions were dedicated to reviewing PUBIH’s activities to date and launching cooperation in the fields of renewable energy sources (OZE/RES) and innovative medical products.
At the beginning of the meeting, it was highlighted that the Polish-Ukrainian Investment and Trade Office, together with its partners, has been actively engaged in investments on the Ukrainian market since 2023. PUBIH is among the first investors in Ukraine and is now preparing to expand its operations into the Asian market. Ms. Anna Lemeszenko, a representative of the Office, presented investment prospects in the Asian real estate sector. It was highlighted that PUBIH has already secured an investor in this area, and by the end of the year plans to open an office in Thailand and launch investments in Phuket.
Participants representing PUBIH included: Andrzej Kowalewski – Director of the Lviv Office, Oleksandr Onoprijenko – Investment Manager, and Katarzyna Mitkiewicz – Expert, along with Roman Nebesny, PhD, Sviatoslav Polovkovych, PhD, Nestor Omelianovych Shpak, PhD, and Nazar Yuriiovych Hlynskyi, PhD, from Lviv Polytechnic.
Development of RES in Cooperation with Lviv Polytechnic
The main part of the talks focused on cooperation in creating OZE DESK – an initiative centered on the development of renewable energy sources. OZE (RES) play a key role in building a modern energy economy based on low- and zero-emission energy generation. Solar, wind, hydro, and biomass energy contribute to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, lowering CO₂ emissions, and strengthening the region’s energy security.
RES DESK is intended to function as a competence and support center for green energy projects, bringing together academia, business, and investment stakeholders. Particular emphasis will be placed on designing solutions tailored to local realities – including distributed energy generation, local micro-installations, and the use of modern technologies to balance the power grid.
BSE – Zero-Emission Power Plant as a Flagship Product
A central focus of the meeting was the introduction of the BSE (Zero-Emission Power Plant) concept, an innovative solution allowing electricity to be generated entirely without emissions. BSE applies advanced energy conversion and balancing systems, allowing it to operate as an independent energy unit or be integrated with local transmission grids.
BSE is characterised by high efficiency – it can be deployed both as smaller local installations and as larger units. The system is modular, enabling the combination of individual units into larger installations, thus adjusting capacity to specific investor needs. This technology holds strategic importance for Ukraine’s energy transition and for the region as a whole, ensuring stable energy supply and resilience to energy crises.
PUBIH plans to design and implement ready-to-invest BSE projects, which can be directly executed by investors, accelerating the energy transition process and enhancing Ukraine’s attractiveness as an investment destination in the green energy sector.
Presentation of Medical Products
The meeting also featured the presentation of innovative medical products, including sterile hydrogel alginate dressings for wound and burn treatment. The research team from the Institute of Chemistry and Chemical Technology at Lviv Polytechnic is continuously improving these products, incorporating feedback from physicians and users. Developments include dressings infused with pain-relief medications to extend the effectiveness of active substances at the injury site. The current range includes dressings, wipes, bandages, masks, and sheets in various sizes, while the research team continues working on expanding the assortment and promoting advanced moist wound healing methods.
The meeting concluded with agreement on the next steps towards launching OZE DESK and advancing cooperation on BSE projects. The partners emphasised that the development of low- and zero-emission energy technologies, alongside innovative medical solutions, represents a cornerstone of long-term collaboration and a significant contribution by PUBIH to the reconstruction and modernisation of Ukraine’s energy and healthcare sectors.
