Because they get to learn from this and become better,” said Ionut Georgescu, FWEI Group CEO said. “The winners will see a country that is the fifth economy in the world but also one that has more red tape than any other. We will arrange meetings, presentations and we will accompany them on trips to accelerators and more. We will also do a pilot project between Business Review and Babele. Our intention is to learn how we can help more in the future. This is our first tap into this world. We hope to become tone main feeder for the entrepreneurial community in Romania,” he added.

Also, we hope it would enable us to refine our concept and work towards scaling up the business,” he added.
