Startup Transylvania Center continues to keep in touch and support the development of young innovators who have participated in the DE + program

Romanian partner runs monthly meetings with the teams and uses this opportunity to see what they are working on and where they need help also identifying opportunities, they might find useful.

We are happy to present to you the success stories of some of the teams:

- The team Billit has been connected with a technology company that develops systems for big retail to identify the best technical solution to receive data from cashiers and digitize the receipt so that paper is eliminated. They also applied for the participatory budgeting project from the Cluj-Napoca City Hall, Com’On Cluj. Their initiative is BWay (learning section), aimed at bringing together high school students with university students (BA/MA) via live events so that young people can better identify what universities to apply for.
