Strong technical universities and IT communities, high English proficiency, business-friendly policies, and a long tradition of excellence in engineering, math, and science education make Romania a strategic market in the CEE region for major multinational IT companies.
Sabin Pilipautanu, Country Director, Romania, and HTEC Group’s first team member in this country, talked about the importance of the Cluj office opening and the company’s future expansion plans in Romania:
“Romania’s technology sector has seen significant and sustained growth over the past two decades, and opening an office here is a logical next move for us to continue bringing top-tier service to our customers. We are proud and happy to open our first Romanian HTEC office in Cluj-Napoca, a well-known and recognized international hub for its engineering community and academic infrastructure. We are looking forward to building one of the greatest centers of engineering excellence, all the while building the ultimate growth platform for our employees, with a dedicated support system for continuous career development and exposure to challenging projects across multiple industries and technology domains. With two more offices already underway in Romania – Iasi and Timisoara – we keep expanding our presence in this strategically important market.”
Vlad Panut, Senior Director of Engineering and Delivery, looks forward to the future challenges and opportunities:
“We’ve gathered a fantastic team in Romania so far, and we continue targeting the top 10-15% of IT talents. With a long tradition of comprehensive STEM education, Cluj is home to great professionals, and we want to give them the opportunity to engineer innovative end-to-end solutions that drive value for our partners across industries. The new office space will allow us to collaborate more efficiently and further foster our company culture centered on mutual trust and respect, continuous learning and growth, curiosity, and innovation.
