Impact Bucharest presented by Mastercard. On September 17-18, 2025, the best of business & tech will be in the capital of Romania. The region’s most important networking event of the year is back!
Impact conferences have been organized in Central Eastern Europe since 2016 and in just 9 years have become the most important annual gathering of industry leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators and visionaries in this part of the world. That winning formula is now successfully connecting some of the world’s most important people from Central and South-Eastern Europe. The 2nd edition of Impact Bucharest is sure to deliver networking opportunities that are second to none.
The Right Place
Romania’s economy has been growing steadily for over a decade, last year by 2.1%. In 2010 GDP per person, adjusted for prices (PPP), was 53% of the EU average; by 2023 it was 78%. It is located on the Black Sea, between Ukraine and the Western Balkans. This makes the country extremely important from a geopolitical point of view, especially because it is a NATO member state. Romania has also consistently supported Ukraine and the European Union having committed to adopt the Euro, which could happen as early as 2026. That’s not to mention the low tax rates, limited bureaucracy and access to a well-qualified labor force at competitive rates that make Romania an attractive business destination, especially for companies looking to do business in Europe, the Caucasus and Middle East. That’s why this is the perfect time for another global gathering in Bucharest!
The Right People
Insightful and inspirational speakers have long been a trademark of Impact conferences and Impact Bucharest will be no exception. The second edition of Impact Bucharest will feature +200 international experts, thought leaders and innovators on stage and +1000 attendees including +100 startups, +300 region’s top companies & +100 media representatives. The event will be a platform used to identify and analyze the strategic decisions that will define the future of everything – from finance, commerce and marketing to energy, urban development and healthcare – with a special focus on promoting and achieving greater sustainability in every sector of the economy.
The Right Agenda
Key theme will focus on business as well as innovation and how connecting local, regional and broader global ecosystems will benefit Romania and the region of SEE. The agenda has been divided into 9 thematic tracks which address the biggest current economic and social challenges in areas such as Defence & Cybersecurity, Green Economy, Digital Future, Startups, Urban Next, Global Economy & Banking, Leadership, Health, Marketing & Digital Consumer. One of the main objectives of Impact Bucharest is accelerating innovation by connecting business & tech leaders, startups, major corporations and investors – that’s why the event features several formal (i.e. the Impact Arena Startup Competition, Workshops, Roundtable Discussions) and informal (i.e. Impact Networking Cocktail). Impact has been recognized as one of the most important events in Europe receiving, among others, 3 Eventex 2025 Gold Awards and an AEO Excellence Awards.
