ROStartup (Romanian Startup Ecosystem Strategy) Information

We believe that Romania has the potential to become one of the leading Startup Hubs, both in the CEE region and at European level. We also believe that a clear common vision, joint actions, multi-actor collaboration, value co-creation and knowledge transfer stand as the baseline of establishing a strong and competitive national entrepreneurial ecosystem environment. Our vision is to enable Romania to contribute to the world innovation through startup disruption .... In order to achieve it we've created an All-Star team formed by the North-East RDA via RubikHub, the European Commission and the World Bank, that together we'll be creating a coherent, 5-year horizon, national development strategy for the Romanian Startup Ecosystem in order to build the strong national entrepreneurial environment that Romania needs. We believe it is a “now or never” moment for the Romanian startup generation, therefore we see this project as much more than an European financed project … we see it as the Startup movement of the new generation! We aim to create the national framework for startups in Romania to THINK BIG, START SMALL & ACT NOW and, at the same time, encourage them to build, fail, measure and learn through the bottom-up approach, which empowers and enables all the players to directly contribute and influence the end-result. We appreciate everyone involved in this project for their current and future support, input and collaboration and we also invite relevant ecosystem actors who share the same vision, want to join the mission and feel that they can contribute to building the Romanian Startup Ecosystem Strategy for the new generation. Looking forward to connect with you!
