What is this all about?
In recent years, the Romanian innovation ecosystem has been evolving organically at its own pace. We may not be no. 1 ecosystem in the world but despite its emergent and fragile state, the Romanian entrepreneurial and more specifically start-up ecosystem had some pretty amazing achievements and has already gained some international recognition.
Great stories happen to those who tell them and Accelerate Romania aims of strengthening the ecosystem from within by telling our stories.
Success feeds success, but only if it is recognised.

So don't be shy and join us now! We need you as much as you need us.
Why this works
Innovation is always about teamwork and gathering like-sided minds around you. When innovators sit at the same table and leave aside mundane issues, that is when progress happens.
Because it's all about stories, and because our stories are interconnected. Of course you can exist and even thrive on your own but it just gets spectacular when you can see the big picture. In this way it s easier to understand the roots of various problems, to identify solutions and to see everything in a wider perspective.
And most importantly, it gives everyone a sense of belonging.
