How can Romania strengthen its position in the regional competition for foreign investment and what role could the North-East play?
In this EastGate interview, Alexandru Mitroi, Senior Advisor at InvestRomania, discusses Romanias position as an investment destination and the opportunities for attracting a greater share of international capital.
The conversation looks specifically at North-East Romania and what the region needs to do to compete more effectively for foreign investment from improving its investment proposition and visibility to developing the infrastructure, talent and business environment international companies require.
Mitroi also explores whether the regions proximity to Moldova and Ukraine could become a strategic competitive advantage, particularly as economic integration, cross-border trade and the future reconstruction of Ukraine create new opportunities across Eastern Europe.
The interview offers a national investment-promotion perspective on how Romania and its North-East region in particular can translate geography, economic potential and regional connectivity into a stronger proposition for international investors.
