ZF and private equity firm Enterprise Investors, which has invested nearly 200 million euros in Romania in companies such as Profi and Smartree, on Thursday night rewarded the most dynamic companies in the Muntenia region, with chicken processor Euroavi in Călăraşi at no. 1, with the company seeing its two-year turnover grow 667.4%.
"Dynamism will be the main feature of an economy in the future and investors need to look for companies with operations that create new industries," said Anne Habiby, cofounder of All World Network at the event. The main challenge is how to make young people start new businesses," she added.
Jacek Siwicki, chairman and member of the Board of Directors of Enterprise Investors, said the main feature of an entrepreneur is patience. He added that Enterprise Investors did not have any other current plans of investing in Romania, after the 3 million-euro investment in March in Smartree, a HR outsourcing firm.
Also attending the event was Lucian Croitoru, advisor of the governor of the NBR (National Bank of Romania), who said that in 2011 economic growth would fluctuate around 0 and that signals on the market showed the economy would see a slow recovery, if growth were resumed.
