What I Did




My Internship ends tomorrow so here's a look at what I have done over the past six weeks.
Gold keys:
PPI and Sekai: aided in preparation for one-on-one meetings between Romanian and American companies. This included designing the agendas, and working with Romanian companies to finalize the plans through a variety of media. I also prepared the materials for a good deal of the meetings, and organized contact info and promotional materials afterwards.
Trade fairs:
Infocomm: Invited delegations from various firms and government institutions to the American tradeshow.
Eurosatory: Took part in Monia Eremia’s preparations to attend the Paris convention. This included formulating the schedule, and organizing the necessary materials. I organized contact data after her return from the event as well.
In addition to this, in my day to day work at CS Bucharest, I often prepared materials for various other meetings and trade missions, including the one in Moldova.
Webinar: I Took part in all steps of publishing and presenting a webinar on the current status of the Romanian Energy industry. This included handling most all correspondence with representatives from industry firms; inviting them, and overcoming concerns, and/or difficulties they had with registration. I also provided them with the registration materials for the webinar, and correlated information on the attendees. Follow up communications were handled by me.
Single company promotion:
Optaros : took part in preparation for the kick-off networking meeting for the aforementioned electronic services provider’s operations in Romania. This included coordinating the attendance of guests from various firms. I attended the reception, and aided in making sure that it ran smoothly.
Export Successes and public relations:
While here, I took part in drafting a good deal of Export Success reports, and current happenings articles for the CS Bucharest website. I worked with passages in a variety of sectors including Healthcare, industrial infrastructure equipment and the energy and water infrastructure industry.
Market sector reports:
I had a hand in preparing multiple market sector reports for publication. This included both editing the reports and updating the information in them. This was one of the most educational aspects of my internship, as through doing so I gained knowledge of various market sectors in Romania. I worked in sectors including: energy, defense, and heavy machinery.
In some cases I preformed research to allow the defense and IT specialist to compare the Romanian report with those from other European countries.
Presentations:
While here, I edited an entire presentation regarding the current state of the Romanian water provision and treatment industry. This included both the spoken component of the presentation and the PowerPoint visual aids. Through doing this I learned a good deal about the Romanian water industry and the opportunities in that sector as a result of EU treatment requirements.
When the SCO gave a presentation to a group of graduate students I managed the guest list and the guests themselves at the actual presentation. Experience at the Front desk: For a two week period at the center of my internship, Monica Pascu was out of the office. For much of the time it fell to me to be the face of CS Bucharest. I was responsible for taking calls and welcoming delegations onto the premises for meetings.
Identifying New Business Opportunities:One of the ways in which I pursued my interest in the Eastern European energy market was to indentify the most viable service providers that may be interested in doing business in Romania. Making use of my experience with the webinar, I compiled the list of these companies.
