Tech Innovation in Romania

Without limits - IT specialists in one of Europe’s leading tech destination

 

For companies looking to establish their own IT tech-hub in Romania:

If your focus is getting within the border of the EU, on rapid scalability, leveraging established expertise, or minimising risks in a competitive market, a partner like Wirtek can fill gaps in specialised areas while allowing you to focus on strategic growth.

It comes down to your goals, resources, and readiness to take on the risks:

  • Which approach feels more aligned with your vision?
  • Are you inclined towards building your own team from scratch? 
Could you consider exploring the benefits of an external partnership with Wirtek, either as an extension of your tech team or your own autonomous development department?

It starts here:

At Wirtek, we operate strategically located tech hubs, hosting elite IT specialists, developers, and engineers to form tailored client tech teams that excel in both short- and long-term projects.

Our development centres and test labs provide the expertise and resources companies need to create outstanding software solutions, embedded engineering and testing environment.

 

The Silicon Valley of Eastern Europe:

Romania has earned its reputation as a top destination for innovative and scalable tech solutions in Europe.

Combining a thriving tech ecosystem, outstanding infrastructure, top-tier engineering talent, and timezone compatibility, our offices in Cluj-Napoca and Bucharest offer companies the perfect environment to build dynamic IT teams and drive growth.

Why Romania?

A Thriving Tech Ecosystem

Romania is often referred to as Eastern Europe’s rising tech star. Cities like Cluj-Napoca are celebrated for their innovative spirit and a highly skilled workforce, while Bucharest brings unmatched scale and connectivity within the region. Companies such as Bosch, Emerson, Endava, and NTT Data have already established a strong presence in Cluj-Napoca, while Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM operate extensively in Bucharest, leveraging the region’s tech-friendly environment. Wirtek has offices in both cities.

Elite Talent Pool

With strong engineering programmes at top universities and a culture deeply rooted in technical excellence, Romania boasts one of the best talent pools in Europe. Cluj-Napoca, often dubbed the "Silicon Valley of Eastern Europe," is a magnet for IT professionals, and Bucharest offers complementary expertise in scaling large operations.

EU Advantages

Being part of the EU, Romania ensures seamless regulatory compliance, easier integration with European markets, and timezone alignment for better collaboration. Compared to having an entity option in Africa or Asia, Romania also provides cultural compatibility and reduced travel times - critical for effective team management.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Romania offers competitive labour costs alongside world-class expertise, making it a cost-effective alternative to other EU destinations.

Tailored Solutions

At Wirtek, we combine Romania’s strengths with our extensive experience to provide scalable, efficient, and innovative solutions within a variety of industries and technologies

The team typically operates in a dedicated hybrid model, recruited and managed by us.
