Our Story
Built on Three Decades of Regional Expertise
Eastrategies® was founded in 1992 by Marc Pascal Huot, a French entrepreneur with a passion for Eastern European markets at a time when the region was undergoing profound economic transformation. From the very beginning, our mission has been to serve as the trusted bridge between international businesses and the opportunities of Central and Eastern Europe.
Over three decades, we have built an unrivaled network of local partners, government contacts, legal experts, and business professionals across 8 countries. This network is our most valuable asset — it allows us to deliver results that no newcomer to the region can match.
Today, Eastrategies® is recognized as a member of the Solutions Team France Export network for Romania, a distinction that reflects our commitment to excellence and our role as a key facilitator of French investment in the region.
