Romania has become a Central-Eastern European tech powerhouse - strong in software, outsourcing and engineering, with fast growth and competitive costs. Business is hierarchical and relationship-led; decisions sit with senior people, trust is personal, and a warm introduction goes a long way.
Romania’s economy spans IT and software (a major outsourcing and product hub), automotive and components, agriculture and energy. Activity centres on Bucharest, with strong tech and university hubs in Cluj-Napoca and Timișoara.
B2B buying is hierarchical, relationship-led and increasingly sophisticated. Senior people decide; personal trust and the right introduction matter, alongside a clear, competitive value case.
