Page 6 - Nearshoring to Romania

Preface

Dear reader,
This guide has been initiated by the Netherlands-Romanian Chamber of Commerce (NRCC) in order
to clarify and promote the attractiveness of Romania as a nearshoring destination, while clearly
addressing the advantages as well as the risks involved. An attempt has been made to approach
nearshoring in the most practical and pragmatic way, describing in detail the steps to take and the
calculations to make.
Together with this guide, a white paper summarizing the challenges and describing our
recommendations is presented to the Romanian authorities.
Our target audience is therefore twofold:
First, the guide is useful for (Dutch, but not only) businesses that consider nearshoring to Romania. It
provides an overview of the potential, the benefits and of the challenges that come with nearshoring to
Romania.
Second, the guide together with the white paper is addressed to the Romanian authorities with the aim
of highlighting the opportunities for the Romanian economy and business climate,in case nearshoring
would be stimulated. It isproventhat nearshoring can act as a powerful tool to attract new foreign
investment, one of the explicit priorities of the Romanian government.
The mission of the Netherlands-Romanian Chamber of Commerce is to foster trade and investment
between Romania and the Netherlands. For the NRCC, nearshoring from the Netherlands to Romania,
and possibly the other way around too, is beneficial for both the outsourcing company and the partner -
a win-win situation, fully in line with our purpose.
