2016 marks Business Review’s anniversary: 18 years since the magazine was first published – the premier English-language publication on the Romanian market, providing news coverage along with hard-hitting features, special interest columns, exclusive analyses and industry reports.
And it is more than our symbolic coming of age: we’re really turning the page and releasing the October issue of the magazine with a new layout: easier to read, bolder and even more committed to our mission; over the last 18 years, we have truly become the platform Where Romania Talks Business.

18 year manifesto
Since the beginning, these unwavering principles have been our guiding light:
1
We believe that Bucharest has earned its place at the table among European capitals; This includes a professional, unbiased source of English-language business news.
To be successful in Romania requires the same level of rigor and professionalism that is taken for granted in the West. We are now part of “the Western way” of doing business.
We believe in the future of Romanian business and the existence of a true professional business class. We are the “next generation” of Romanian business.
The values that power everything we do are Independence, Pride in Our Work, Curiosity and Entrepreneurship Drive.
Business Review is unique, not just through our carefully curated content, but also through the community we have helped build: a unique and powerful mix of driven people you’ll rarely meet anywhere else.
It’s our 18th anniversary, want to leave us a message?
