Industry of organizing exhibitions, trade fairs and congresses
The industry of organizing exhibitions, trade fairs and congresses, coded CAEN 823, represents a significant engine of Romania's economy, facilitating connections between diverse sectors and stimulating knowledge exchange. From agricultural fairs in the countryside to international congresses in big cities, these events generate an important economic flow by attracting participants, exhibitors and investors. In the last decade, Romania has seen a visible increase in the number of specialized locations and the professionalism of organizers, leading to better integration into the European market. However, entrepreneurs in this field face challenges such as seasonal fluctuations, strict health regulations and competition from virtual events.

In the macroeconomic context, this niche contributes to promoting the country's image and attracting business tourism, having a multiplier effect on hospitality and transport.
