Investment in research and development is about 0.3% of GDP, among the lowest in the European Union. The level of collaboration between companies is the lowest in Central and Eastern Europe, and the IT industry, although it represents 8% of the added value of the economy, continues to generate value mainly from services, less from its own products and intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These data are part of an extensive analysis, which will be launched for the first time tomorrow, at the ANIS International Summit 2026, in Bucharest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme of the edition \u2013 From Scale to Innovation: Romania&#8217;s Next Competitive Edge \u2013 proposes an applied discussion about the bottlenecks that slow down innovation and about the solutions to overcome them. In this context, the study &#8220;Stimulating the transition to a more innovative ICT industry in Romania&#8221; analyzes the level of investment in innovation, the use of existing tools and the structural barriers that limit the development of products and intellectual property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ANIS summit asks one of the most important questions for the local economy: how can Romania move to a growth model based on innovation and greater added value? And above all, what would it mean for the national economy, in terms of GDP, jobs and tax revenues?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The agenda of the event deals directly with the critical points of this transition:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The role of the regulatory framework in stimulating innovation<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Challenges and opportunities in orienting business models towards innovation<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">How have other countries in the region succeeded?<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Artificial intelligence as a driver of economic growth<\/span><\/strong><\/li><li><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Cybersecurity as the foundation of the digital economy.<\/span><\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>International guests will bring concrete examples from countries such as Poland, the Czech Republic or Estonia, where the transition to an innovation-based model has already been accelerated through coherent policies and functional support instruments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The summit brings together more than 300 leaders from public administration, European institutions, international organizations and industry companies, in a format oriented towards applied discussions and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a context where Romania&#8217;s traditional competitive advantages are under pressure, ANIS International Summit 2026 becomes a space for clarification: what works, what doesn&#8217;t and what needs to be changed to accelerate the transition to innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">About ANIS <\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">The Employers&#8217; Association of the Software and Services Industry (ANIS) is the representative association of the IT industry in Romania.
