At the end of the two events, Varujan Pambuccian stated that: “I met in Iași only people who know what they are talking about and who are able to speak directly, clearly and intelligently about subjects of interest to them. I met a tightly-knit professional community that knows how to sensibly differentiate between the competition and work-related aspects, and things they have in common and that unite them. I also met a place with an exceptional coherence between the educational and the industry environment, which I took as a sign of great advancement and which ensures a predictible development. The fact that there is a bond between high school, university and industry, a bond built wisely and over time, makes Iași an almost unique IT ecosystem in Romania. ” Continuă să citești „Transition from the software factory model to that of a R&D center with higher added value”
