The "Migration and Entrepreneurship: An Integrative and Important Value for Our Communities" conference, supported by the Lufkin Foundation and the National Bank of Romania, brought together notable participants from the Romanian banking system and former migrants who have become successful entrepreneurs. The conference highlighted the value of the relationship between migration and entrepreneurship, which are crucial factors in the growth and development of the economy in Romania.

Mugur Isarescu, Governor of the National Bank of Romania, delivered the keynote address, emphasizing the significant potential of Romanian migrants and their investments, stating that these "could stabilize the labor force and foster the development of businesses that utilize local resources."

We also had the honor of welcoming Dan W. Lufkin, the founder of the FLAME Foundation, as a special guest from the United States. Dan Lufkin underlined the critical need to identify national strategies to attract the economic and human potential of Romanian migrants and their families. He passionately conveyed to the conference participants the significance of entrepreneurial initiatives and actions and how they can be transformative in driving development in Romania.
