Centred around the theme Building Europe's Next Growth Corridor, EastGate 2026 will explore how infrastructure investment, industrial development, cross-border cooperation and future reconstruction are reshaping one of Europe's most promising emerging investment regions.

As the regional development agency responsible for one of Romania's most dynamic and strategically positioned regions, ADR Nord-Est has played a central role in attracting investment, supporting innovation and strengthening cross-border economic cooperation. Its involvement reflects the shared ambition of creating a platform that brings together public institutions, investors and businesses to unlock new opportunities across Romania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine.

The North-East Region is rapidly emerging as a gateway for investment into Eastern Europe. Major infrastructure projects, increasing international connectivity and its proximity to Ukraine position the region at the centre of future reconstruction efforts, industrial development and regional supply chain expansion. Through its partnership with EastGate, ADR Nord-Est will help facilitate dialogue between the public and private sectors, showcasing the region's investment potential while encouraging long-term international partnerships.

This collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term partnership between Property Forum and ADR Nord-Est. EastGate is envisioned as the first of many joint initiatives designed to strengthen the region's international profile, attract investment and foster meaningful dialogue between public institutions, investors and the private sector. Together, the two organisations aim to create a lasting platform that supports sustainable economic development and positions North-East Romania as a key destination for international capital.

By bringing together institutional investors, developers, infrastructure specialists, financial institutions, government representatives and international businesses, EastGate aims to accelerate investment into projects that will shape the future of the wider region.

We are proud to work alongside ADR Nord-Est in launching what we believe will become a flagship partnership for the region, one that will continue to evolve through future editions of EastGate and additional initiatives focused on investment, innovation and cross-border cooperation.
