LETTER TO INVESTORS

Dear investors,

Timiș County is a benchmark investment destination for this area of Europe, being a model of
success for Romanian and foreign investors alike, both in terms of the county's competitive advantages
and especially through the success stories created here.

Our county has experienced constant development over the last 3 decades, being today one of
Romania's vectors of economic growth and a model of success for the whole country. Timișoara ranks
among the top in Romania for the most important macroeconomic indicators, being constantly
mentioned as a benchmark of high living standards and a reference for regional development. Timiș'
high level of prosperity, i.e. over 90% of the EU average GDP per capita, is both a consequence of socio-
economic policy decisions at local and central level and, above all, a result of business confidence in the
potential o f the area.

Timiș and Timișoara certainly offer you countless competitive advantages, which we urge you to
exploit intelligently and sustainably to strengthen both the county's economy and your business. A
highly skilled workforce, as a prerogative of a strong university system, access to the best transport
infrastructure in the country, a state-of-the-art research and development center and the most diverse
cultural heritage in the country are the area's undoubted assets and a unique combination of qualitative
and quantitative indicators on which you can rely in developing your business.

In this regard, I assure you of my full support and that of my colleagues in the County Council to
participate together in the creation of jobs and the development of new businesses through which,
together, we can develop the European Timiș that we all want.

Alin Adrian NICA
President of Timiș County Council
