Do you, as a Brussels-based business, want to set out to conquer the dynamic and resilient market that Romania offers? Then take part in our multisectoral mission, organised in partnership with AWEX, held in Bucharest on 13 and 14 May 2025.
Romania boasts a large market of over 19 million inhabitants, and is one of the European Union’s fastest growing economies. The Romanian economy has proved itself resilient in the face of both the COVID-19 crisis, and the consequences of the war in neighbouring Ukraine.
The Bucharest office will help you to spot opportunities for your business and to meet the partners who can make them a reality. Don’t hesitate to contact the local team to start discussing your project straight away: bucarest@awex-wallonia.com
The mission is open to all sectors of activity. For your information, however, the following sectors have been identified as particularly buoyant:
