Selected sessions
Summit for Digital Governance
On 8 December 2025, a public dialogue with Nicușor Dan, President of Romania, on three pillars of a digital Romania: defence and cybersecurity, the diaspora, and the relationship between the state and its citizens.
That what holds back the digital state is less the technology than coordination and administrative culture, and that it needs one point of coordination, close to the Prime Minister’s office.

IQ Digital Summit
A national tour for Romanian small and medium-sized businesses, on stage in every city: Iași, Cluj, Timișoara, Craiova, Oradea, Constanța and Pitești.
City after city, that digitalization becomes real for a business when it is explained through tools and examples it can use the next day.
Digitalination
Three seasons, 18 episodes following the digitalization of the Romanian state, made by Upgrade100 with Aspen Institute Romania. Guests included Romania’s and Moldova’s ministers for digitalization, the head of Romania’s Digital Authority, and Salim Ismail.
Episode by episode, where the digital state actually stood: what was moving, what was stuck, and why.
