Romania’s Tech Revolution is Getting Started

For Vargha Moayed,

“Many Romanian entrepreneurs have told me that the story of UiPath has inspired them to dream bigger. Until recently, many talented Romanian entrepreneurs, unlike their American counterparts, did not allow themselves to think big, which really limited their success. The success of UiPath has also helped to put Romania on the global tech map, which has opened doors for other companies.”

Founded in 2018, DRUID is another Romanian AI start-up rapidly making a name for itself. The Bucharest-based company has developed a “no-code” chatbot design platform to help organizations with planning, developing and deploying chatbots. It has so far raised nearly US$7 million and has more than 100 customers across the world. In 2020, UiPath partnered with DRUID to offer clients a platform integrating the capabilities of DRUID chatbots and UiPath’s software robots.

According to DRUID’s Chief Revenue Officer Andreea Plesea,

“Romania’s AI start-up ecosystem is still in its infancy, but it has an increasingly bright future ahead of it. The country is in a solid position to triumph in cybersecurity, enterprise software, fintech and AI-based engines, and it’s a pretty safe bet we’re going to see more Romanian unicorns in the near future.”
