- Objective
EGP’s objective is to act on a strategic level in the development of Romania’s logistics and infrastructural sector and to take hold of the clear business opportunities for the Dutch trade and industry in Romania.
Project information
Since Romania became a member of the EU in 2007, the country’s development is taken to hand rapidly. There is solid economic growth, even in these dire times, and Romania received major commitments from the EU to strengthen its foundations; For the period 2007-2013 Romania will receive a total of 19 billion euro out of the EU Structural Funds, of which 8.5 billion is earmarked for investments in infrastructure and regional development.
Description of project
The expansion of the port of Constanţa, the navigability of the Donau and the development of the multi-modal junctions and inland water way networks, are all projects which will be taken up within the next few years. The Netherlands have the technology and knowledge to play a role in these developments. Given the economic growth, the investments flowing from Brussels to Romania the coming years and the strategic geographic position as gateway to the (Central) European market, Romania offers numerous business opportunities for the logistics and infrastructure sector in the Netherlands.Collaboration
In order to seize these opportunities, structural collaboration in a strong international “logistics and infrastructure cluster” is needed. To this end a number of Dutch companies founded the European Gateways Platform (EGP), supported by several trade organisations and the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Furthermore EGP maintains close relations with the Netherlands Embassy in Bucharest.
