Profit.ro convenes digitalisation marathon on Romania's digital state and public-private partnerships
Profit.ro is hosting a digitalisation marathon focused on Romania's digital state, public-private partnerships, secure digital services and concrete priorities for the next five years, with Metaminds as exclusive partner.
Profit.ro is holding a full-day event, the Digitalisation Marathon: Connected Romania, scheduled to begin at 10.00 on the day of the announcement. The programme is built around a single question: what a digital state in Romania should look like, and what a public-private partnership can realistically deliver. Metaminds is the exclusive partner of the event.
The agenda sets out a series of practical themes. Organisers have listed how the digital state is currently taking shape, which digital projects can attract capital and skills, the role of infrastructure and artificial intelligence in public administration, and how secure and trustworthy digital services can be built. Digitalisation in education and health is also on the list, with a focus on how progress can be measured. The sessions will also examine international practices that could be adapted to Romania and how European funds can be turned into implemented projects.
The marathon closes with the question that frames the whole day: which concrete decisions should be taken over the next five years. By placing public and private actors in the same discussion, the event aims to move from general ambitions to specific choices on funding, delivery and oversight of digital services. The programme makes clear that the focus is on implementation rather than strategy alone, with the emphasis on turning funding and partnerships into working systems.
For readers following public spending and technology policy, the agenda points to the pressures facing Romanian administration. Digital services for citizens, the use of AI in government and the question of trust and security all depend on investment decisions that the event proposes to examine. The debate will test whether a partnership model can deliver results in areas where public budgets and European funding alone have limits.
