Romania and Atlantic Council propose index for NATO's Eastern Flank
The proposal would add delivery capacity to project screening and favor long-term public-private partnerships along strategic corridors, Concelex said.
On Monday, September 28, 2026, Concelex and Atlantic Council Romania hosted a New York roundtable on NATO's Eastern Flank infrastructure investment, featuring remarks by President Nicu.
CEO Radu Piurlea argued that Ukraine demonstrates infrastructure functions as a security capability, defining 'Sovereign Infrastructure' as assets built and maintained under national or allied control.
Concelex proposed a Sovereign Infrastructure Index to track delivery capabilities across the region, alongside recommendations to prioritize long-term public-private partnerships along strategic corridors.
Atlantic Council President and CEO Frederick Kempe emphasized that infrastructure, energy, and communications must be prioritized and integrated across borders rather than planned country by country.
Participants, including Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare and Ambassador Andrei Muraru, agreed to reconvene in Bucharest before year-end to further develop Concelex's proposals with the Atlantic Council.
