Silicon Forest is the newest technology hub in Cluj that will be launched in June provides a range of facilities designed to provide an informal and creative workspace. Set in the city center, Silicon Forest is the ideal meeting place for professionals with innovative ideas from Cluj. The project addresses the IT & C industry as well as companies and freelancers from other business areas.

The hub is located in the central area of ​​Cluj, on Cotita Street, no. 9, in a building designed for office space. With a modern design, the building is set on six levels and has an area of ​​over 1,350 square meters, consisting of office space, a terrace and a café.

”We are in advanced discussions to host the research department of a large company in Cluj, and it wants to provide the R & D team with an informal and creative working environment. We also address medium and small companies and freelancers, our goal being the development of a strong and dynamic community whose products and solutions attract as many investors as possible”, says Gabriel Rusu, one of the founders of the project.

The offer for freelancers is structured on three types of subscription, with prices ranging between RON 700 and RON 1,250 per month. In the case of companies, the hub offers quotes that meet the needs and peculiarities of each applicant.

The cost of subscriptions includes security, cleaning and administrative services as well as access to networking events and shared recreation areas. Access to meeting rooms and parking spaces is available depending on your chosen subscription.

”The name of the project is not coincidental, we want to continue the tradition of the Cluj-based IT & C community, and the comparison with Silicon Valley is as justifiable as possible. We estimate a 80-90 percent occupancy rate in the first three months of launch, although we expect a certain fluctuation of the companies that will cross our threshold”, says Rusu.

The Silicon Forest project is initiated by Gabriel Rusu, CEO of Mejix, and two American investors, Boaz Gilad, founder and CEO of Brookland Capital and Guy Praisler, Dine Market CEO. The project is in the process of being finalized, the investment so far amounting to EUR 200,000.
