Last week I had the wonderful opportunity to be invited to participate at a series of conferences, being part of a bigger project called “Software for competitive SMEs”.
The project was founded by the Romanian Association for Electronic and Software Industry in collaboration with Timisoara’s Software Business Incubator.
The primary purpose of the project was to inform the local small business owners, from Oravita and Moldova Noua, about the ways they could use software and web applications in order to increase productivity and support automation.
The project also facilitated the contact between local software firms and SMEs from towns situated in Caras-Severin and Timis counties, in order to contribute to the economic development of the area.
I had the chance to speak to a lot of wonderful people. I’ve noticed that each community has a bunch of representative individuals, that really understand the problems of their community and that can give you the best inputs in order to build up the best solution.
They were really opened to the solutions provided by our company, eager to learn more about online presence, web applications and software that could improve their business. It was a great experience because we could actually talk on real cases, and provide practical solutions.
After the conference we visited some of the most important touristic attractions, which got us to actually feel the historic pulse of that region.
Among them are: The Old Theatre – “Mihai Eminescu” from Oravita, the oldest Romanian casino (many people say it’s the first European casino) as well as some of the agrotouristic pensions situated on the shore of the Danube River.
Thanks again to all the people involved in this project. It really was an enriching experience!
