Whether it’s about opening a new office or a new production unit, our specialized consultancy and support services are offered free of charge to organizations wishing to come to Romania.
The support we offer to foreign companies is intended to bring to Romania not only an influx of foreign capital, but also know-how and technology, as well as a significant increase in the number of investment projects.
Another objective is to support more balanced economic development in certain areas of the country, in order to reduce the gaps between regions.
