Romania: Nearshoring location for companies in NRW

In recent years, Romania has become an important market for German companies. As an EU member, it combines a robust industrial base with competitive costs, a skilled workforce, and a location that is strategically advantageous between Western and Eastern Europe. Established sectors such as automotive manufacturing, electrical engineering, and the plastics and chemical industries present opportunities for cooperation, procurement, and new sales channels. Through a business trip organized by NRW.Global Business, companies from NRW can explore these opportunities firsthand.

The trip will take place from September 14 to 17, 2026, and will include visits to Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest. The program includes country briefings, visits to production sites and companies, and networking and roundtable events. Companies from NRW will learn about the advantages that the Romanian procurement market offers manufacturing companies, how nearshoring can strengthen their supply chains, and the economic and legal framework.

Companies interested in participating have until July 14 to register. More information is available on the NRW.Global Business website.
