The conference is part of AmCham’s regional outreach agenda aimed at fostering a constructive policy-industry dialogue & partnership for increasing the investment profile of major cities and their entire region.

Main Topics  & Keynote Speakers

As Timiș  is home to major U.S. companies doing business in Romania, the November 3 conference builds on the shared commitments towards increased trade and investments reiterated at the recent U.S. – Romania Economic Forum: from Security to Prosperity.

Timișoara plays a central role in the development of the entire western region, and we are honored to have U.S. Charge D’Affaires David Muniz open the conference to highlight what U.S. investors are looking for when prospecting new destinations for business.

The main findings of the U.S. – Romania Economic Relations research and the related policy recommendations needed for Romania to be become a regional hub for U.S. investments will be presented on AmCham’s behalf by Board Member Alex Milcev, Partner, Head of Tax & Law EY Romania.

The Mayor of Timișoara, Prefect and Vicepresident of the Timiș County Council are invited to share their priorities for building a competitive investment offer and what are the leading economic advantages of the region for new and existing investors.

They will be followed by a presentation of opportunities to access the U.S. market, by Laura Gimenez, Deputy Senior Commercial Officer, U.S. Commercial Section, U.S. Embassy and by remarks on behalf of the largest U.S. investors in the Timișoara area, by Ileana Gabor, Honorary President of NAEC (North American Economic Club).
