In mid-October 2025, during the Transilvania Digital Innovation Summit in Cluj-Napoca, SOFTECH will participate in the “Green and Digital” panel to showcase how technology and innovation can drive Romania’s transition toward smarter and more sustainable communities. The company’s software development experience will serve as a case study in how digital tools can transform sectors such as renewable energy, green mobility, smart homes, and public safety systems.
The discussion takes place in a broader national context where Romania, though not among Europe’s most polluting countries, faces a growing imbalance between natural resource consumption and regeneration. Rising CO₂ emissions, outdated infrastructure, and the impacts of climate change—such as water scarcity—create urgent pressure to rethink how cities function. The transition to sustainability remains in its early stages, but local “champions” such as innovative cities, research projects, and civic organizations are leading the way and proving that systemic progress is possible.
The panel at the Transilvania Summit explores how technology can accelerate this transformation. From data-driven urban governance and smart grids to AI-powered environmental monitoring, digital tools are increasingly vital for achieving sustainable development goals. Participants will discuss how innovation can optimize energy consumption, promote citizen engagement, and foster collaboration between public authorities and private enterprises.
Key themes of the session include circular economy integration in urban planning, public-private cooperation for sustainable projects, and the financing mechanisms behind the green transition. Special attention will be given to the role of communities as drivers of change and to the replicability of local success stories—such as Cluj and Cugir, which have emerged as examples of sustainable city models in Eastern Europe. The conversation will also address the measurement of progress, focusing on developing clear, data-based indicators of environmental and social impact.
This focus on digital and green technologies is crucial for Romania’s modernization and economic diversification. For business leaders, policymakers, and citizens alike, understanding how to integrate sustainability into daily operations and local strategies is no longer optional—it is an essential step toward long-term resilience. Events like the Transilvania Digital Innovation Summit are becoming key spaces for connecting the technological and ecological dimensions of national development.
SOFTECH’s contribution highlights how software development can directly support this transition. The company’s portfolio includes smart energy management systems for solar power, diagnostics for heating networks, grid optimization tools, intelligent transportation platforms, and connected home solutions. In the area of public safety, SOFTECH has developed digital systems for crisis alerts and security management. These innovations rely on cutting-edge technologies such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and artificial intelligence—tools that are continuously evolving to meet the needs of a greener and more digital Romania.
Romania’s path toward sustainability is not merely a technological challenge but a cultural and institutional transformation. By fostering cooperation between citizens, companies, and governments, and by embracing digital tools for environmental stewardship, the country is laying the foundations for cities that are not only smart but also resilient and deeply human-centered.
