Research about current political topics
We are doing an extensive research on the current ties between Romanian and Austrian politics and on the influence this had on the presidential election in Romania.
Energy
Reinforcing the cooperation
Romania is historically one of the most important countries for Austrian state investments, since OMV purchased 51% of the shares in the Romanian state company PETROM . The relationship should be again fostered and besides that Romania can become and important additional gas supplier. Austria can also contribute with green energy projects.
Infrastructure
Involving Austrian Know-How
Romania needs to upgrade the railway and road infrastructure and will receive vast investments from the EU for projects in this area and for development of new corridors into Ukraine. The Austrian industry can do significant growth in this area.
