The year 2021 started with positive news in the IT field for Romania. Romania will host, in Bucharest, the European Center of Industrial, Technological and Research Competences in the field of cybersecurity - Cyber Center, being the first structure of the European Union that will have its headquarters in our country. This achievement was possible due to the very good training of the IT staff in Romania, but also due to the fact that this industry was and, will continue to be (if we take a look at the measures adopted by the authorities), a key industry for our country.
The Hi-Tech Business Forum event, in its first edition, is dedicated to the exchange of ideas and information on how companies can achieve positive transformations through digital technologies. Hi-Tech Business Forum aims to bring together IT experts from the private and public sector, to present examples of digital initiatives, technologies with high impact in our everyday life, and the most valuable lessons learned from the previous year.
