In light of recent developments involving the public health crisis, the 7th edition of the Foreign Investors Summit GOES FULL ONLINE.

All around the globe the pandemic has taken its toll on broader economies. According to various studies, the total volume of Foreign Direct Investments is going to downsize 30 to 40 percent in 2020. Different regions and countries FDIs are impacted differently depending mostly on the measures packages implemented by the authorities to help economy and companies to cope with the pandemic effects.

At the 7^th edition of the Foreign Investors Summit, a well known two-day event, we will focus on Romania’s showcase as a potential investment destination even in these hard times for investors. High representatives of the Romanian Government, leading experts in economy and geo-politics, business leaders and entrepreneurs, diplomats, chambers of commerce and business associations will analyze and debate our country competitiveness in the turmoil caused by the pandemic. Among the key questions for our speakers and panelists are some of the following:

• Are the measures implemented or announced by the Romanian Government really working in helping maintaining competitiveness of local economy and what more can be done?
• What are the main domains and markets that are still attractive for foreign investors?
• Are there any changes in the traditional appeal of foreign investors who focused in the past couple of years in real-estate, IT, energy, agriculture, banking or services?
• After two years of stagnation in FDIs and the downsizing in 2020 what can be expected in 2021?

Join us at Business Review's main event of the year and take a glance at what our guests thoughts of the future of FDIs in Romania are. Together we can keep our economy safe!
