Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu discussed with Google representatives the opportunities offered by Romania
Large companies in the area of information technology, that want to expand their businesses in Eastern Europe, will find excellent opportunities in Romania, Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu stated at the meeting he had with Google representatives, during his working visit to the United States.
Specialists with solid training in IT are a strong asset for companies in this area who want to come to Romania. In addition, Romania now offers the opportunity for major investments in data centers and cloud services, as the Government has made digital reform and the transfer of state IT systems to the cloud a priority in the public administration reform.
The Government has committed to making operational the government cloud and we will work together with experts and technology industry companies to achieve this. I will also encourage Romanian firms and private companies to opt for these cloud solutions because they represent an important competitive advantage in an increasingly competitive market, stated Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
In addition to collaboration on cloud services, the Head of the Executive showed that Romania is extremely interested in identifying and developing cybersecurity projects, as the country has one of the most advanced cybersecurity legislations in Europe.
The Head of the Executive reminded that Romania benefits from the status conferred by the EU and NATO membership and, in the near future, the OECD membership, thus offering a predictable business environment based on rules guaranteed by membership in these organizations. At the same time, investment in Romania can represent a bridgehead for companies interested in accessing the European market or other regional markets, such as the Republic of Moldova or Ukraine.
I know that Googles policy is to encourage the use of renewable energy to power data centers and this is another area where we meet, because we also support the use of clean energy, we are making efforts to decarbonize and produce green energy, stated Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu.
