ROStartup is the umbrella organization that represents and brings together the Romanian startup ecosystem. Our independent organization, unique in Romania, brings together startup founders, investors, public authorities, policymakers, startup program organizers, and other key entities. We believe that Romania has the potential to become one of the leading startup hubs, both in the CEE region and at the European level. We also believe that a clear common vision, joint actions, multi-actor collaboration, value co-creation, and knowledge transfer are the foundation for establishing a strong and competitive national entrepreneurial ecosystem. Our vision is to enable Romania to contribute to global innovation through startup disruption. As the central hub for the ecosystem, we will provide a comprehensive array of activities, including capacity-building programs, policy advocacy, international outreach, and financial support mechanisms for startup enablers. Building upon the ROStartup initiative created in June 2020, we aim to facilitate a nurturing environment where startup enablers can thrive and collaborate. Join us! https://rostartup.com/
