Digital & Innovation Sector in Cluj - Napoca, Romania

Submitted by Bianca Muntean on 01 October 2019

One of the benefits the title of EU Cluster Manager of the Year offers to the winning community is the opportunity to promote Cluj, Transylvania and Romania, as well as SEE, as an area of ​​importance in the field of information and creative industrial technologies.    

In Cluj, IT companies got involved in educating students in universities, while also investing in programs meant to develop a culture of entrepreneurship. At the same time, work is ongoing on a platform that would bring together all the providers of educational programs, either IT, robotics or sciences. “We want to get local authorities involved in the program as well as the business environment, in order to have programs implemented in as many schools as possible,” Bianca Muntean explained for the 'Adevarul' daily newspaper.

While Cluj has set an example for the entire country, it is not enough to push the country further on the development path in this sector. “More of us need to do more. What is happening in Cluj is not enough”.
