Romanian Start-ups in the IoT domain

If you think global start-up hubs, Romania is probably not the first country that comes to your mind. But the country’s troubled past and years of economic hardship has given rise to a culture of self-sufficiency and resilience which is spawning a flourishing start-up tech sector.

The national statistics are still modest, but growing. Online database RomanianStartups.com currently lists 295 start-ups, 576 founders and eight accelerators/incubators.

Some of them are taking a chance with the Internet of Things — either as enablers, engagers or enhancers. A short list of the most promising ones at Connected Gadgets blog.
