Others data:

  • Geographic location of the city of Iasi - Its position as a border city and as former capital of the entire Moldavia (including the territories across the river Prut - the present Republic of Moldova) gives Iasi a privileged status in the cross-border relations

    • Accessibility: direct accessibility to the major network of pan-European and national communication routes (by road, rail, water and air)

    Economic functions: economic facilities at high technological level, flexible (secondary sector, productive, socio-cultural and computer services)

    Equipment/facilities level: by ensuring a potential for hosting/receiving functions and equipment whose importance, quality and capacity meet European standards/requirements:

    • political, legislative and economic decision institutions of international, national or regional importance,
    • national and regional institutions of de international/European reputation,
    • foreign and international institutions with permanent offices in the city,
    • various organisations with subsidiaries, branches and offices abroad,
    • other facilities: education, scientific research, health, culture, commerce, commercial services to the population and to businesses, media, sports, leisure, environment protection, religious affairs, public order, defence and national security.

    University education, within the international, national and local systems, in the following domains: humanities, economics, medicine, technology, agriculture, arts, theology. All the higher education establishments also have 3-year colleges. The universities have their own related facilities (accommodation, cafeterias, sports grounds etc.). High-school education is concentrated here in a proportion of 75% of the total per county. Vocational and technical high-school and post-high-school education (training foremen and skilled workers) is mostly concentrated in the city of Iasi, because here it can find the necessary facilities and equipment.

    Health facilities, most of them concentrated in the city, provide services for a large area. The demand, depending on specialities, extends from city area to county area, to the Moldavian region. The culture, art and religious (ecclesiastic administration) and sports facilities of interest for the region are concentrated in the metropolitan area.

    Financial, banking and insurance activities, mostly concentrated in the city of Iasi, become area-interest activities, which is not necessarily an advantage, but it increases the attraction force towards these businesses, and implicitly towards the city (the Romanian Commercial Bank, Raiffeisen Bank, the Romanian Development Bank, Banc Post, the Ion Tiriac Commercial Bank, Finansbank Romania, Transilvania Bank, Alpha Bank, ABN – Amro Bank).

    Other activities of interest to the area, with offices in the city of Iasi are represented by the following institutions: the Army Recruiting and Records Bureau, Army units, the Court of Law and the District Attorney’s Office, the County Police Headquarters, the County Fire Brigade and others.
