Innovation and Competitiveness in the New Economy

Innovation and Competitiveness: two words that one hears more and more often in business. But where do Romanian SME and midmarket companies stand when it comes to Innovation and Competitiveness? If it is true that productivity in Romania is among the lowest in the EU, how is it possible that some companies are so successful? How do they rival with the European competition? And how do they develop market share in our home market, facing expanding EU competition?

These questions come to us every day! And the accompanying question is often: Can we obtain EU funding if we invest in Innovation and Competitiveness?

Also, RomAdvice and FIP believe that these questions that Romanian companies are struggling with need to be answered, not in a theoretical but in a practical and pragmatic way. For this reason, we are bringing the highest Gov’t representatives, the best international experts, and the Romanian private sector together in a single conference.

This conference targets managers and owners of Romanian SMEs and midmarket companies, with an ambition or potential for growth, that aim to further expand in the European marketplace and/or want to protect their local business success over the longer term.

More information and registration can be found on the conference website, IC-2007, while everyone is invited to ask questions and/or post comments here below.
