🌎 A bridge for economic, technological and investment cooperation between the US and Romania
Participation in brokerage events organised by Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) means more than networking — it means direct access to real opportunities for international business and technology cooperation.
On 22–23 October 2026, Iași will become a meeting point for companies, investors, institutions, research organisations and technology providers from Romania and the United States, as part of the US–Romania Regional Economic Forum 2026 – Bridge to Tomorrow: Technology, Investment & Regional Resilience.
The event will take place at the Palace of Culture in Iași, at a particularly significant moment for the bilateral relationship, with 2026 officially designated as the “Year of the United States of America in Romania.”
The forum has a clear mission: to turn economic and diplomatic dialogue into concrete partnerships, investments, exports and technology collaborations between companies and organisations from the two countries.
🤝 EEN Matchmaking & Networking Services
Măgurele Science Park, as an event partner, together with organiser ARHIPELAGO INTERACTIVE and international co-organiser European American Chamber of Commerce Texas, will support participants by facilitating the B2B matchmaking and networking component of the event.
The EEN matchmaking component is aimed at SMEs, companies, clusters, research organisations, universities and other organisations interested in identifying international partners and concrete cooperation opportunities.
Through the matchmaking programme, participants will be able to request and schedule pre-arranged one-to-one meetings, based on their commercial, technological or investment objectives.
✔ Pre-arranged B2B meetings with relevant partners
✔ Identification of clients, suppliers, subcontractors and technology partners
✔ Investment and international expansion opportunities
✔ Partnerships for joint projects and R&D collaboration
✔ Access to companies and organisations from the Romanian and US business and innovation ecosystems
✔ EEN support in identifying and developing international cooperation opportunities
🚀 INVEST. BUY. BUILD.
Cooperation between participants is structured around three practical directions:
INVEST – attracting US investment to the region, including R&D centres, business services, advanced manufacturing and regional operations.
BUY – identifying Romanian companies that can become suppliers, subcontractors or technology partners for US companies.
BUILD – positioning Iași as a base for developing economic and technology projects with an impact across Romania, the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine and the EU Single Market.
💡 Four strategic areas for cooperation
The forum’s agenda focuses on four areas with strong potential for international cooperation:
🔹 Technology & Artificial Intelligence – software, AI, cybersecurity, digital transformation and startups
🔹 Defence & Dual-Use – drones, robotics, electronics and advanced manufacturing
🔹 Energy & Critical Infrastructure – energy security, green technologies and resilience
🔹 Investment, Trade & Market Access – US–Romania investment, exports, venture capital and market access
Education and research are integrated across these areas, creating opportunities for collaboration between companies, universities and research organisations.
