What you need to Know about Romania’s Healthcare Transformation and Opportunities for Tech Solutions Providers. Where are the Opportunities for US Businesses? 

Healthcare is the Romanian government’s top priority.  Aging infrastructure and a lack of modern equipment and technology are currently being addressed by the Romanian government and the European Union.  Significant investment is being made to modernize the system quickly. Romania, however, is both an opportunity for global med tech providers as well as a resource for collaboration.  A nation with highly-qualified technology talent, Romania seeks global partners to reshape the future of health and medicine.

Romania’s urgency to rebuild its healthcare system creates opportunity for US companies seeking to grow in Central and Eastern Europe.   A wide variety of products and services are needed from abroad to help transform the system.  Our panel will share their thoughts on how US companies can engage with Romanian businesses and the Romanian government.
