“The digital sector already contributes 6% to the Romanian GDP. If we know how to use the financial resources available at European level and our expertise in the field of innovation, Romania can become one of the main players in robotics and Artificial Intelligence. The Romanian Presidency for the Council of EU can be an ideal moment to promote Romanian innovation. The European Robotics Forum, taking place in Bucharest next year, is already a step forward in this direction.“ said Victor Negrescu, Ambassador for the Robotics Community in Romania.

During this meeting, E-Civis also launched the Map of Robotics in Romania (www.hartaroboticii.ro), a visualization instrument for the Romanian robotics community.
