    Business Forum Romania – Piemonte

    Oltre 100 aziende italiane e romene dei settori manifatturiero, energetico, IT&C, ma anche bancario o della consulenza, hanno partecipato al primo Business Forum Romania – Piemonte, svoltosi il 25 ottobre a Torino. L’evento è stato organizzato dall’Ambasciata di Romania in Italia, insieme alla Regione Piemonte, al Consolato Generale di Romania a Torino e a Ceipiemonte. Il forum è stato aperto dall’ambasciatore di Romania in Italia, Gabriela Dancău, accanto al presidente della Regione Piemonte, Alberto Cirio, al prefetto di Torino, Raffaele Ruberto, e al sottosegretario di stato al Ministero dell’Imprenditoria e del Turismo romeno, Lucian-Ioan Rus. Da parte sua, il sindaco del capoluogo piemontese, Stefano Lorusso, ha salutato l’iniziativa, con un messaggio presentato dalla consigliera Nadia Conticelli.

    L’ambasciatrice Gabriela Dancău ha sottolineato l’importanza della dimensione economica del Partenariato Strategico Consolidato tra la Romania e l’Italia, nonchè il fatto che la Romania è una destinazione eccellente per gli investimenti italiani, soprattutto alla luce dell’accesso delle compagnie romene ai fondi strutturali europei e all’esperienza di successo delle aziende italiane nei progetti finanziati da fondi europei. Siccome l’Italia è il secondo partner commerciale della Romania e la seconda destinazione delle esportazioni romene, simili eventi contribuiscono direttamente al consolidamento della relazione speciale tra i due Paesi, ha detto ancora Gabriela Dancău, come indica l’Ambasciata di Romania in Italia in un comunicato.

    Da parte sua, il sottosegretario Lucian-Ioan Rus ha sottolineato l’importanza della cooperazione economica regionale, alla luce delle attuali sfide nelle catene di approvvigionamento, e ha incoraggiato le compagnie romene e piemontesi a valorizzare in partenariato le opportunità portate dall’era digitale in vari settori industriali, dall’automazione industriale e robotica fino alla produzione alimentare.

    A sua volta, la console generale di Romania a Torino, Ioana Gheorghiaș, ha fatto riferimento all’effervescente comunità imprenditoriale romena del Piemonte, che reca un notevole contributo al dinamismo economico locale e, in molti casi, fa da ponte tra le compagnie italiane e quelle di Romania. Norina Boru, ministro consigliere presso l’Ufficio di Promozione Economica e Commerciale dell’Ambasciata di Romania in Italia, ha presentato le opportunità d’affari e investimenti offerte dalla Romania alle imprese italiana. Inoltre, Marco Falcone, CEO di un’importante compagnia, ha condiviso con i partecipanti al forum l’esperienza di successo di un’azienda italiana sul mercato romeno, precisa inoltre l’Ambasciata di Romania in Italia.

    Il forum si è concluso con incontri B2B tra le compagnie romene che intendono consolidare la presenza nella Penisola e le aziende italiane interessate, gestiti da Iulia Schnecker, ministro consigliere presso l’Ufficio di Promozione Economica e Commerciale dell’Ambasciata di Romania in Italia, precisa ancora la fonte.
