Why Iai and why is the RomaniaMoldovaUkraine corridor becoming increasingly important for investment?
In this EastGate 2026 interview, in Iaşi, Romania, Csanád Csürös, CEO of Property Forum, explains why Iai was chosen as the home of EastGate and the strategic thinking behind bringing the investment community together in North-East Romania.
The conversation explores the opportunity created by connecting investors, financial institutions, businesses and public authorities across Romania, Moldova and Ukraine three markets whose economic relationships are set to become increasingly significant in the years ahead.
Csürös discusses EastGates role as a platform for building these connections, creating dialogue between public and private-sector decision-makers, and bringing greater international visibility to investment opportunities emerging across the region.
The interview also looks at Iais potential to develop as a gateway between the European Union, Moldova and Ukraine, particularly as cross-border cooperation, European integration and the future reconstruction of Ukraine reshape investment flows across Eastern Europe.
