About Romania
Romania's strategic position at the crossroads of Eastern and Central Europe, combined with its rapidly developing IT sector and competitive labor costs, makes it an increasingly attractive destination for international business expansion. As the EU's sixth-largest country by population, Romania offers companies access to a well-educated workforce with strong technical skills, particularly in software development and engineering. While the country has made significant strides in modernizing its business environment and digital infrastructure, establishing operations requires careful navigation of its evolving regulatory framework, detailed labor code, and comprehensive social security system. Companies must thoroughly understand both national requirements and sector-specific regulations when setting up operations, from managing complex employment documentation to ensuring compliance with Romania's strong worker protections and collective bargaining agreements.
