Secrets of the successful entrepreneur: where ideas turn into action

As co-organiser, Cluj IT, together with the DIH4Society team, had the pleasure of being part of the event Secrets of the Successful Entrepreneur, a meeting that brought together entrepreneurs, leaders and professionals from various industries, united by the desire to build sustainable businesses connected to current realities.

An important moment of the event was the discussion panel in which Andrei Kelemen took part, who brought to the forefront one of the major challenges of the Romanian business environment: the level of digitalisation of SMEs. According to the DESI index, small and medium-sized companies in Romania still have important steps to take towards adopting digital technologies and integrating artificial intelligence into internal processes.

The key message conveyed to the audience was clear: digitalisation should not be done just because it is a trend. It is a process that must be built on real needs, using strategies and tools adapted to the objectives of each company.

In this context, initiatives such as the 28th Regime can open real access to the entire European market, and DIH4Society plays an essential role in supporting SMEs in Romania in the digital transformation process, facilitating their access to international opportunities.

Starting from Romania's position in the DESI ranking, Ovidiu Codreanu emphasised the urgent need for SMEs to start this digital transformation journey, a process that must start from within the organisation, from concrete needs and well-defined objectives. DIH4Society supports this approach through its expertise and through the ecosystem built specifically to guide companies on a complete and coherent digital journey.

Moreover, participants had the chance to take their very first steps in this direction, interacting directly with the DIH4Society team present at the event. Our colleagues were available for discussions, clarifications and details on how companies can access the services available under SME selection call no. 5.

We were delighted to have valuable conversations with entrepreneurs from Cluj, but also from other regions, from a variety of industries, confirming once again the energy and potential of the local and national entrepreneurial ecosystem.

As our partners from IMM Club also say:
“In Cluj, it wasn't just about ideas. It was about conversations, connections and things that move forward in business.”

See you at the next one. 🚀
