Bucharest Business Forum 2026

Date: 20th May 2026    Venue: JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel

A strategic outlook on business and investment in Romania

Bucharest Business Forum 2026 brings together senior business leaders, investors, policymakers and innovators to examine how Romania’s economy and corporate landscape are evolving in a more complex and competitive regional environment. The forum offers a platform to discuss where growth will come from next and how companies can position themselves for long-term resilience.

The 2026 agenda will focus on investment priorities, productivity and competitiveness, the impact of fiscal and regulatory changes, and Romania’s role within European and global value chains. Sessions will explore how AI, automation and data are moving from experimentation to implementation, how ESG requirements are influencing capital allocation and corporate strategy, and what energy transition and infrastructure development mean for businesses operating locally.

Leadership and talent will remain a central theme, with discussions on organisational transformation, workforce skills and managing change in increasingly hybrid and international teams. The programme will also look at urban development, real estate and infrastructure as enablers of economic growth, with a particular focus on Bucharest’s next phase of development.

Bucharest Business Forum 2026 is designed for decision-makers seeking clear perspectives, practical insights and informed dialogue. It is a place to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions and connect with peers, shaping the future of business in Romania.
