Founded to promote and advance international trade, in peace and prosperity, we condemn the breach of international law by the unprovoked and unjustified attack on Ukraine and we fully support U.S. President Joe Biden’s statement“Russia alone is responsible for the death and destruction this attack will bring, and the United States and its Allies and partners will respond in a unified and decisive way. The world will hold Russia accountable”

United we call for the urgent restoration of peace and for constructive dialogue to commence immediately. The Romanian American Chamber of Commerce and The Moldovan American Chamber of Commerce business community will continue to support the Administration, and the Romanian and Moldovan Governments to ensure a meaningful resumption of peace talks.

EVENT DETAILS: (online event)

International businesses are constantly searching for new opportunities to optimize their business operations and introduce new technologies into their working systems through investment or product purchasing. The pandemic has forced companies to be even more creative and explore lesser-known countries for outsourcing. Recently, Moldova – a European nation on the border of the EU – has popped onto the radars of many US companies seeking excellence, innovation, and savings.

To discover why Moldova is an attractive destination for investing or outsourcing IT services, we invite you to join this webinar organized by the Embassy of the Republic of Moldova to the USA, the American Chamber of Commerce in Moldova (AmCham Moldova), and the Romanian - American Chamber of Commerce, on opportunities for US investors in Moldova's unique IT sector.

International rankings place the Republic of Moldova high as a state with a developed electronic communications infrastructure, that is favorable for the development of business in the field of information and communication technology. ICT is one of the most dynamic sectors in the Moldovan economy and represents one of the priority areas for development and expansion for the Moldovan Government.

A significant boost to the ICT sector development has been given by the incentives offered by the innovative Moldovan virtual IT park legislation. Moldova IT Park is built on a unique concept in the world, allowing its resident companies to have a virtual presence in the park and enjoy a 7% single tax regime.

Currently, it hosts almost 700 resident companies, of which 150 companies with foreign capital from 34 countries. They have more than 11,500 employees and reached an annual turnover of 250 million euro in 2020.

SPEAKERS:

- H.E. Eugen Caras, Ambassador of the Republic of Moldova to the United States
- George Teodorescu, Regional Director of Mixbook, Vice President, AmCham Moldova
- Mark A. Meyer, President at the Romanian - American Chamber of Commerce, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Moldova in New York

The number of cross-border transactions involving entities from the U.S. and Romania are increasing. These transactions can range from sophisticated capital and real estate investments to smaller-scale operations where an entity in one country is simply exploring business opportunities and establishing a presence in the other country. In addition, the current pandemic and the working-from-anywhere approach have highlighted the complex tax and business consequences of joining the global mobile workforce. What tax laws apply? How predictable are Romania’s tax laws? How do you navigate the tax laws in the U.S. that exist at a federal level and also spread across 50 separate states? What are the risks of double taxation?

Learn from experienced tax advisors and attorneys from the U.S. and Romania about practical ways to handle tax issues relevant to cross-border transactions and remote work in this webinar presented by the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce in Washington, D.C. and hosted by Whiteford, Taylor & Preston.

The Biden administration and EU leaders have both signaled strong commitments to a renewal of the transatlantic partnership and closer cooperation on issues such as cybersecurity. How can the US and EU take advantage of the momentum for closer collaboration on cybersecurity?

The Atlantic Council’s Europe Center and Cyber Statecraft Initiative within the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, together with the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce, hold a public conversation on “Security Through Cooperation: A New Phase of US-EU Cyber Collaboration.”

The Biden administration and EU leaders have both signaled strong commitments to a renewal of the transatlantic partnership and closer cooperation on issues such as cybersecurity. How can the US and EU take advantage of the momentum for closer collaboration on cybersecurity?

In 2021, Bucharest will become the home of the new European Cybersecurity Industrial, Technology and Research Competence Centre, facilitating the coordination of national cybersecurity competence centers across EU member states and driving the EU’s cybersecurity agenda. While the Centre will coordinate cybersecurity research and innovation in the EU, it will also serve as a body for pooling investment in cybersecurity research and development. The Centre is tasked with coordinating across member states, attracting technical investment, and implementing parts of the Digital Europe and the Horizon Europe programs, and its opening in Bucharest signals the increased commitment by the EU to tackle cybersecurity challenges.

What does the Centre mean for the future of Europe, for transatlantic security (NATO), US-EU cyber cooperation, and the strategic partnership between the United States and Romania? This public conversation aims to unpack these issues and outline suggestions for greater security through cooperation.

This year the United States and Romania celebrate 140 years of diplomatic relations and enter into one decade of strategic partnership.

Such cooperation is more important than ever as the transatlantic alliance faces increasingly complex challenges, including traditional threats and unforeseen risks due to the novel coronavirus. As we celebrate these achievements, experts from the US and Romania will also gather to outline key challenges and opportunities for economic growth, prosperity, and security, both in the Black Sea region and Europe more broadly.

This discussion brings experts from the US and Central Europe together to outline actions toward a common agenda for the post-pandemic future, and is part of the Council’s broader virtual event series Central Europe Week: Charting A Post COVID-19 Future Together.

We hope you will join us for this important and timely conversation.

Recently, the European Union has approved funding for the SmartAgriHubs (SAH) initiative, a multimillion dollar, five year project framework designed to increase the competitiveness and sustainability of Europe’s food-tech sector. The initiative aspires to create an interconnected ecosystem of Digital Innovation Hubs, where stakeholders work together in different phases of innovation towards designing and implementing digital solutions for the Ag sector. At a regional level, the Romanian NGO ANAMOB has been selected to manage the calls for project proposals to be implemented in the South East Europe Regional Cluster countries, including in the non-EU states of Israel, Serbia, Montenegro and Turkey.

We understand the importance of securing flexible and competitive financing solutions in the development of intelligent technologies for the Ag sector. As such, we invite you to attend a panel discussion with the CEO of ANAMOB, Mr. Viorel Marin, who will speak in detail about the scope of the project, grant awards, sectoral priorities, etc. Mr. Marin will be leading a delegation of eleven Romanian IT and Ag companies, which are interested in applying for financing under the SAH framework and are actively seeking partnerships with US companies that operate across Precision Ag market segments, such as: automation, imagery, adaptive irrigation, livestock management, food safety, supply chain, etc.

We believe that is an excellent opportunity for the US food tech companies to increase their footprint in Europe, secure financing for food-tech projects, forge knowledge and innovation based business partnerships across the continent, as well as generate higher trade and investment flows across the Atlantic.

In a Conversation on his new book, Bucharest Diary: An American Ambassador’s Journey

President Bill Clinton appointed Alfred Moses as his first ambassador to Romania (1994 – 1997), where Ambassador Moses played a key role in helping the country move from its Communist past to democracy and to establish a free economy. In his new book, Bucharest Diary: An American Ambassador’s Journey, Moses includes first-hand accounts of the diplomacy, both public and private, that helped Romania recover from four decades of Communist rule. As ambassador, he facilitated negotiations between Romania and neighboring Hungary and Ukraine that resulted in treaties resolving border and other disputes. As a result, Romania was invited to join NATO and the European Union, and currently has the fastest growing economy in Eastern Europe. For his efforts, Moses was awarded the Marc Cruce medal by the Romanian Government, the only American to receive this distinction.

Moses is Chairman of UN Watch, past President of the American Jewish Committee, the author of several books, and also served as special counsel to President Carter (1980 – 1981) and special presidential envoy for the Cyprus conflict (1999 – 2001).

Making Waves returns for its 10th edition featuring a cross section of narrative features, documentaries, and shorts. Titles fresh from Cannes and Berlin lead the slate of features: Corneliu Porumboiu’s fairy tale The Treasure; Romania’s unorthodox answer to 12 Years a Slave, Radu Jude’s Aferim!; Radu Muntean’s subtle morality play, One Floor Below; and Why Me?, the Sidney Lumet–esque political thriller by Tudor Giurgiu, based on tragic true events.

Another highlight will be a special tribute screening of Cristi Puiu’s The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2005), commemorating the 10th anniversary of Making Waves. A seminal title of the Romanian New Wave, this dark comedy was presented at the first edition back in 2006 and took American critics by storm, helping to establish Romania as a major player in the contemporary landscape of international art cinema.

The series will also feature panels, special guests, and a continuation of the Creative Freedom Through Cinema program, examining the relationship between art and politics in Eastern Europe and spotlighting work from Georgia and the Republic of Moldova.

The raw survival documentary Toto and His Sisters (Alexander Nanau), a selection of short films (including the newest from Puiu and Ramona, the noir revenge tale that won a prize in Cannes), and a tribute to one of the greatest Romanian filmmakers, Mircea Daneliuc—whose work inspired the Romanian New Wave—complete this exciting lineup.

Making Waves is co-presented with the Romanian Film Initiative, with the support of the Trust of Mutual Understanding, LARK Play Development Center, the Romanian National Center of Cinema, the Filmmakers Union of Romania, and many individual supporters.

The most promising 2015 event outside Europe‘s borders: "BestInvest Romania"
- the largest Investment Forum in Romania‘s history held in New York City.

Romania is a robust and diligent country embarking on an age of renewed growth, increased stability and impressive credibility. Mindful of constant challenges and difficulties, it has now launched heartily into restructuring its economy and making strides across the board. It is this kind of commitment that will secure her role as a key EU player and an exceptional NATO partner for generations to come.

A lot of progress has been achieved, but there are still significant challenges ahead. Developments in Romania have far reaching implications for the European Union, the United States and the global economy. At this year's "BestInvest Romania", a delegation of government officials, public and private sector CEOs and executives from global investment banks will discuss the developments and reforms in the Romanian economy. Also, the latest trends in the capital and stock markets with topics such as banking and finance, private equity and investing, energy, oil and gas exploration, healthcare, infrastructure development, defense, telecommunications, real estate and transportation will be addressed.

This Forum will provide the audience with a unique blend of informational, marketing and networking opportunities. This December marks the 20 year milestone of the Romanian-American Chamber of Commerce commitment to raising awareness about Romania as an investment destination to a wider financier universe.

Please join us for a historical event as we look thrillingly to the next twenty years of unprecedented opportunities, growth and achievements in Central Eastern Europe‘s most trebling economy.

Topic: Long Term Care Planning- Protecting Your Family and Your Assets As You Prepare for Incapacity

Please join Margo K. Ceresney, Esq., of Herzfeld & Rubin, P.C., for an informative discussion: WHAT EVERY PERSON NEEDS TO KNOW ABOUT LONG TERM CARE PLANNING. The cost of long term care in New York has made planning a critically important issue for many aging individuals and their families. While some are able to afford private pay care, the cost of long term care will wipe out savings of all but the wealthiest families in a matter of years.  Many have worked hard and translated their earning power into financial security for themselves and their loved ones.  Without proper planning, however, declining health could rob you and your families of your financial independence. Therefore, it is vital to know your options for long term care and to plan ahead.

Topics covered will be:
-3 Critical Documents (Power of Attorney, Health Care Proxy, Living Will)
-Cost of Long Term Care
-Options for How to Pay for Long Term Care
-The Differences Between Medicare and Medicaid
-Qualifying for Medicaid
-Asset Protection through Medicaid Planning
