For the first time, Bucharest Tech Week debuts with Tech Expo – the B2C component of the festival, with free access for the general public, organized on the weekend of June 14–15 at Romexpo, Pavilion B1. Starting with June 16, the agenda continues with the five Business Summits, hosted at NORD Events Center by Globalworth and dedicated to technology and business professionals.

“Bucharest Tech Week is designed as a concrete meeting place between technology, business and people who innovate. We focus on relevant content, applicable solutions and interactions with real value for companies, professionals and the public interested in progress. By joining the interactive exhibition area with the series of specialized conferences, we offer both organizations and the general public access to ideas, tools and perspectives that support adaptation to the ongoing digital transformations”, said Alexandru Măxineanu, Managing Partner of Universum Expo.

This year’s edition of Bucharest Tech Week is supported by BCR, as Main Partner, which reinforces its commitment to digitalization and the integration of technology into accessible financial solutions, thus supporting the adaptation of the business environment and society to new technological transformations.

“Technological evolution and AI development is, at the same time, an accelerator and a test of patience. It’s not just about what AI can do now, but how we transform ourselves as individuals and as a country to integrate it sustainably in the long term. At BCR, we want visible results, but the most valuable transformations occur over time, and at Bucharest Tech Week it’s not just about robots and algorithms, but about how to prepare and better understand what will happen tomorrow. Technology truly comes to life when it makes complicated things seem simple. At Tech Expo we bring our 100% online, fast digital financing solutions for entrepreneurs, the George app – with over 300 functionalities – and a truck transformed into a bank branch, to show how innovation can go wherever it is needed”, Cătălin Lupoaie, BCR B2B Marketing Manager.
