Sibiu What is TECHconnect
TECHConnect is a regional festival designed to fix a long-standing gap: the one between research and the economy.
It’s a real working space between people who develop technologies and those who can (or need to) put them into practice
Universities, startups, SMEs, local authorities, and investors—together.

Matchmaking
An idea looking for funding. Or funding looking for the right idea. Researchers, startups, companies, and institutions that can actually collaborate. No showcase meetings – just relevant conversations with vetted partners and real interest in transfer and collaboration.
