Known as the “Silicon Valley of Eastern Europe”, Romania provides a plethora of opportunities for exporters in technology, defense, energy, and healthcare sectors. Momentum has slowed slightly, but Romania continues to make strides toward the European Union average GDP per capita. Romania is the largest Balkan country and boasts a highly educated workforce, particularly in information technology – it has the 6th highest density of IT professionals in the world. The country is a hub for agriculture given its extensive natural resources. Romania is making efforts to modernize its military, healthcare system, and educational system and pursue renewable energy sources. While knowledge of the regulatory framework via a local representative may be helpful, exporters in any industry can find success in Romanian markets with a strong value proposition.
