Bucharest, 2 October 2022
Most of the managers of Romanian companies believe that next year will be extremely difficult from an economic point of view. 40% of them expect the GDP to decrease and Romania to enter recession. Famous names from the Romanian business environment will meet on 2-3 November 2022 at Business Focus – The Next Level of Evolution, in search of solutions that will secure their companies in the period to come.
“The presence at the Business Focus 2022 – The Next Level of Evolution event can provide a clear perspective on these crises both from the perspective of the Romanian authorities, regulatory institutions, as well as representatives of multinational companies that operate successful businesses in Romania or resilient entrepreneurs and performers from our economic environment. That is precisely why representatives of important institutions in Romania’s development, such as the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Entrepreneurship and Tourism, NATO and ANRE, will be present with us.” – Laszlo Pacso, CEO, Consultant at BD Business Opportunity Generating Services and organizer of Business Days.
Also during the event, the data of analyzes carried out in recent years will be discussed, which show that 27% of Romanian managers believe that the situation of the companies they lead has improved in the last year, while 19% of them believe that the activity, as a whole, has improved. However, domestic company managers are not at all optimistic about what the next year will bring. Two-thirds of them believe that the global and European economy will worsen in 2023, while 71% have the same opinion regarding the national economy.

Although the percentages do not indicate much confidence in the near future, most of those interviewed say that they are looking for solutions that will help them protect their companies and employees from the recession that they sense. All these will be main topics of discussion during Business Days. 60 national and international speakers, with over 10 years of experience in business and development, will participate this autumn, in Bucharest, at the event where they will debate burning topics of the current economy and try to find the most viable options for adaptation to a dynamic market, generated by the major changes of the last 2 and a half years.
According to the figures from the recent studies carried out by the Business Days platform between March 2020 and August 2022, the CONFIDEX studies carried out by Impetum Group in 2021 and 2022, the MKOR studies carried out in 2020, 2021 and 2022:
- 93% of managers expect increased inflation;
- 86% of managers expect the commodity crisis to continue;
- 40% of managers believe that GDP will decrease.
That is precisely why the event aims to reveal the ways in which successful companies in Romania adapt to the new reality, how they prepare to face the challenges ahead and how they can maximize the opportunities derived from the current state of affairs or the reality of the expected future. Also, in the interactive sessions, the participants will learn and acquire the necessary skills for the rapid and successful digital transformation of their business.
”We are back with this Anniversary Event with a dual purpose. Once, in order to connect entrepreneurs and decision-makers in Romanian companies to the opportunities and challenges of the future, offering them a professional climate of exchange of experience and learning through which they can adapt their strategies and businesses to the new context and to these opportunities and challenges. Then, to celebrate the Romanian entrepreneurs and managers who, through vision, innovation, creativity, ingenuity, leadership, excellence, transparent communication, thorough work and perseverance, have created and run businesses with an impact on the Romanian economy and society, generate inspiration and produce changes for the better , act responsibly and are pioneers in the digital transformation and technologization of the universe in which they operate and in which they have chosen to live, raise a family and raise their children, leaving them a legacy of a better world“, says Lazslo Pacso, CEO, Consultant at BD Business Opportunity Generating Services and organizer of Business Days.
