“Romania has consolidated its position as a world-class technology hub in the past five years,” according to the Romanian CEO of Mokka (Revo Technologies), Alexandru Balaci, who sat down with Business Review to talk about the latest fintech trends, the outlook for the Romanian startup scene in 2022, and Mokka’s plans for 2023.

What’s your outlook for the Romanian startup scene in 2022 in terms of funding opportunities and hot industries for investors?

Romania has consolidated its position as a world-class technology hub in the past five years, and this was acknowledged by the EU when Bucharest was designated to host the European Cybersecurity Competence Centre. This dynamic has a tremendous positive impact on the local startup scene, opening our market to more investment opportunities, which in turn will contribute to more growth and focused development. For example, Romania is now a top destination for outsourcing banking and fintech software development, and this will help scale startups in this lucrative area.
