Romania’s water and wastewater infrastructure requires investments totaling 25 billion euros.

As part of the national recovery and resilience plan, Romania’s budget of 1.46 billion euros is allotted for water and wastewater management and for providing the population with faster access to high-quality services. The planned projects must be implemented by 2026. In the Republic of Moldova, projects in the water supply and sanitation sector worthing 149 million euros are to be implemented by 2027.

German companies and institutions have both the expertise, solutions and processes to meet these challenges and drive innovation further, together with Romanian and Moldovan companies.

This trip offers all the participants the opportunity to discuss challenges and solutions together and to initiate cooperations.

This trip is part of the Environmental Technologies Export of the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and is aimed at German SMEs in the water industry.
