The "U.S.-Romania Economic Forum" is AmCham Romania's premier platform for transatlantic dialogue, bringing together policy makers in Washington, D.C. and Bucharest, local decision-makers and stakeholders, and leaders and professionals in the American and Romanian business communities. Launched in 2022, with the support of the United States Embassy in Romania, to mark the 25th anniversary of the Strategic Partnership between the United States and Romania, the Forum serves as a space to recognize and celebrate past achievements in the bilateral economic relation and, more importantly, to look ahead at challenges and seize emerging opportunities to renew this partnership.

The Forum primarily aims to raise awareness of the many still unexplored areas that promise to further cooperation between the two nations, complementing the special role the United States of America play in Romania's national security and foreign policy and Romania's geostrategic and economic significance in the transatlantic community.

This year's edition was organized in the margins of the ”Three Seas Initiative Business Forum”, hosted by Romania, and dived into the transformative impact of innovation on economies and societies, calling for the accelerated adoption of innovative economic projects as a vector for prosperity and sustainable development. Building on the momentum of the 2022 pilot edition, the 2023 event continued to focus on strengthening bilateral economic cooperation in the wider context of regional transatlantic engagements.

Hosted in the margins of the Three Seas Initiative Business Forum, the 2023 edition brought together decision-makers in the U.S. and Romanian Governments, business representatives from the U.S. and Romania, as well as representatives of companies and organizations in the Republic of Moldova, Ukraine, and countries participating in the Three Seas Initiative. We also welcomed the participation of our colleagues in AmCham Bulgaria, AmCham Moldova, and AmCham Ukraine.

The American Chamber of Commerce in Romania is the leading business association in the country connecting U.S., international and Romanian companies to business opportunities and facilitating an informed and wide-ranging public-private dialogue.
