Made in Romania has been successful in creating an effective platform for Romanian companies to promote their businesses and through which they can access business development strategies by bringing in financing from the capital market. Throughout this fifth edition, we have seen local brands that have outstanding potential to become national or even international leaders in their field of business, and their classification in this edition shows how the scheme is achieving its goal of becoming a reference for identifying and promoting the future drivers of the Romanian economy. This year we have 50 semi-finalists from very diverse fields of business and we are looking forward with interest to hearing who the finalists will be.” said Radu Hanga, President of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

“This year’s edition of the Made in Romania Program has brought in a record number of companies registered on the dedicated platform, www.investingromania.com. 88% of the companies who entered the scheme in 2022 are SMEs and we are delighted that more and more Romanian entrepreneurs, with businesses in the local economy’s key sectors, are discovering the opportunity through this Program to share their stories and develop. We have reached the stage where we know the names of the 50 companies chosen as semi-finalists of the 2022 edition. Congratulations to all of them! There will now be a period of voting to select 3 of them as finalists and we encourage you to give your vote to the businesses you admire, to offer them the chance to take part in the final stage of the Bucharest Stock Exchange’s key project.”, said Adrian Tanase, CEO of the Bucharest Stock Exchange.

In the first stage of the Made in Romania Program, which took place from 29 March to 31 May, entrepreneurs, partners and supporters of the Program and of Romanian brands and employees of Romanian companies, along with the Nominations Committee, received 350 valid nominations via the platform www.investingromania.com. Of these, the most represented business sector is IT&C making up 27% of nominations, followed by commerce at 12%, with the service sector at 3rd place, representing 9% of all companies nominated.

The geographical distribution of this year’s nominated companies showed the top 5 counties to be Bucharest and Ilfov, with 46%, Cluj, with 7%, Prahova and Timis, with 5%, and Iasi, with 4%.

This 5th edition of Made in Romania is offering, for the first time, direct access to the final for the top-3 public-voted companies. The public vote to select the 3 finalists will take place from 4 to July 31, 2022.  Only 48 out of the 50 semi-finalist companies can be voted on the Made in Romania platform, meaning the ones who opened an account on the platform and the ones who had an active account on the platform. The remaining 12 finalists will be chosen on 2 August by the Made in Romania Jury, made up of experts in various sectors of the economy. All 15 finalists of the 5th edition of Made in Romania will be publicly announced at the Gala Premiere this autumn.

The Made in Romania project was launched by the Bucharest Stock Exchange in 2017, in order to identify and promote top companies in Romania. Developing the www.investingromania.com platform has positioned the Bucharest Stock Exchange as the main financing channel for Romania entrepreneurs. At the same time, the platform is also aimed at investors, consultants, and especially companies with growth prospects seeking financing from investors, or companies in the process of preparing a private placement on the AeRO or Main Market. The consultant-provided media content available through the platform supports companies in implementing best practice and in taking their business to the next level of development.
