Abstract: The concept of economy based on knowledge shows that the main development direction of the economy, economic raise, creating new jobs and so improving humanwelth is produceing, transfering and using knowledge. Economic development doesn’t request only a great number of people but also quality and training of those people so in the knowledge based society the accent can stand on raising people’s qualifications, growing the education level so that information can have continuety, so it won’t be lost. Peter Drucker considered that “knowledge becomes the only meaningfull resource nowadays (Vreja, L.V, The concept of knowledge organization in the current economic environment). But where does Romania stand regarding the facilitation of knowledge transfer considering that we are way below the EU average of GDP, and the investments of GDP in the education sector are around 1 % and about 30% of population works in agriculture, struggles trying to develop economic activities because of: lack of training, lack of informations regarding bussiness opportunities, entrepreneurship, the low capacity of fund absorbtion, the old forms of commerce, undervaluation, the big number of intermediaries that are involved on the agricultural market, the lack of private and foreign investors, the lack of using ecological technologies in agriculture and mismatch between suply and demand
