Why Romania?
With its strarategic location and Black Sea coast, Romania is considered by many to be the gateway to Eastern Europe and its 100 million inhabitants. Romania is the largest country in South-East Europe with a population of around 20 million.
Culturally, Romania is closer to Western Europe than its neighbours. Romanian is a Latin-based language belonging to the same family as Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. English is widely spoken, as are all the other major European languages.

Romania may not be as well developed as some other Eastern European countries, and this is why it presents so many exciting opportunities. But whatever development needs there may be for roads, transport and infrastructure, Romania is way ahead on the ‘information super highway’ with one of the world’s fastest internet speeds*.
