Highlights of the 2025 edition

This year’s Summit will focus on three high-impact priorities:

With 2 Ministries from Romania invited, 2 U.S. congressmen, the Governor’s and Mayor’s offices, and 5 ambassadors, this could be our most influential Summit yet.

  • 4 Presidents of Business Chambers
  • 5 Consuls and Honorary Consuls
  • Business people and community leaders from NY, NJ, WA, CA, IL, IN, WI, OH, MI, CT, and DC
