French Investors Forum 2015

6th edition, June 29th, 2015  Ramada Plaza Bucharest Hotel, Europa hall (location here)

Building on the tradition of previous events in the series, Business Review is organizing the 6th edition of French Investors Forum.  French companies were among the first foreign investors to show interest and confidence in the development potential of the Romanian economy at the beginning of the 1990’s.

How has this potential materialized and what perception do French investors have of Romania now?
What should be done to better promote the country abroad and what would convince more French companies to come and invest here?
We invite the private and public sectors to continue the dialog and to find out what are the main advantages and difficulties French investors doing business in Romania face and what are their recommendations.
