Annual conference brands
Forum Invest conferences bring together international political leaders, top business representatives, professional organizations, market analysts and the media, to debate over critical economical issues in the sectors of energy, healthcare, finance, infrastructure, agriculture or international economic cooperation.
Forum Invest annual conference brands include:
Gulf Cooperation Council – Romania – South – Eastern Europe program
In March 2011, Forum Invest co-organized, together with the Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Romanian Ministry of Economy, the Federation of the Gulf Cooperation Council Chambers of Commerce and a number of other institutional partners, the first ever economic forum between Romania – South – Eastern Europe and the Gulf Cooperation Council, aiming to boost economic cooperation between the two regions. Similar forums are scheduled to be organized in 2012 and the following years, in Bucharest and in strategic locations from the Gulf region.

Besides the international large-scale economic events, Forum Invest organizes the periodical Forum Invest Club in Bucharest, Geneva, Monaco or London, set as invitation-only informal meetings, for quality information exchange between high-level economical, political and geo-strategic factors that influence the future of the Central and the Southeast Europe, in the global context.
