Romania<br />
Greetings<br />
Romania _ a dynamic<br />
business environment!<br />
H. E. Bogdan Mazuru<br />
Ambassador of Romania to Austria<br />
Congratulations to iconvienna for bringing<br />
together investment and business<br />
ideas through this platform of cooperation.<br />
We cannot speak about investments<br />
without mentioning the word innovation.<br />
The European Union and the member<br />
states cannot lag behind in a world where<br />
competition becomes fierce. We should<br />
innovate more and invest more, at home and<br />
abroad. We should become an active global<br />
investor. There is no time to wait or to waste.<br />
Romania encourages a dynamic business<br />
environment through state subsidies granted<br />
to start-ups, small and medium enterprises,<br />
state aid schemes for big investments, fiscal<br />
facilities for companies. Exemption from<br />
income tax for reinvested profit, exemption<br />
from income tax for profit obtained in research<br />
activities, exemption from income tax<br />
for employees working in IT or research<br />
fields are some of the fiscal facilities available<br />
to companies investing in Romania.<br />
In the past years, Romania became a key<br />
investment destination for the IT, automotive<br />
industry and services (Business Process<br />
Outsourcing and Shared Service Centers).<br />
Over the next years, we expect this trend to<br />
continue. Romania’s labor force in this field<br />
is highly qualified. This is one of our competitive<br />
advantages in the region.<br />
During the first half of 2019, Romania<br />
will hold, for the first time, the Presidency<br />
of the Council of the EU. It represents an<br />
opportunity to promote initiatives to foster<br />
investment and innovation. The incentives<br />
for the business environment will be one<br />
of our main goals during the Presidency.<br />
Conditions and state policies for start-ups,<br />
small and medium enterprises need to be<br />
developed in order to have a sustainable economic<br />
growth in the European Union. The<br />
European Union plays an essential role in<br />
fostering investments. The economic cooperation<br />
among the EU member states brought<br />
prosperity to the European citizens and lay<br />
the foundations for the start-ups and technological<br />
innovation, which is the future of our<br />
economies.<br />
