The growth and opportunity scenario in which we operate.
A voice of authority
The FPIAR Federation was born from the synergistic union between Confindustria Romania and ConfHospitality, and it represents, with competence and authority, the world of entrepreneurs and investors, including Italians, operating in Romania.
Thanks to an independent and unique federative structure, FPIAR is today a strategic player in the choices that influence the entire local economic ecosystem.
With the significant weight of tens of thousands of represented companies and over 35,000 active jobs, the Federation plays a decisive role in national decision-making processes and establishes itself as an essential interlocutor also within the broader European geopolitical context.
