We are organizing the national stage of CESA in Romania since 2016 and this first of the big regional final organized in Bucharest represents a good opportunity to connect and regional visibility for entrepreneurs and the partners of the event, and also a very important tactic to position Romania as an important entrepreneurial eco-system in the region.
