Abstract
In this paper, we will analyse the opportunity of developing a cooperation
between the business community and the public sector, from an economic intelligence
perspective, aiming to improve the economic security of Romania. The research question
we try to answer is “How can Romanian companies and the national intelligence services
cooperate, in order to improve our economic security”?
Taking into consideration the various threats to the economic security of our
country, in this paper we choose to briefly analyse the existing relationships between
competitive and economic intelligence, as well as the concrete ways in which private
companies and public intelligence services can cooperate, in order to counter the
economic and/or industrial espionage. We believe that our approach can pave the way
for further research that will contribute to the formulation of useful recommendations,
for both Romanian companies and the public sector.

Keywords: economic security, economic and competitive intelligence, economic
and industrial espionage, business community.
