One week.
The entire ecosystem
A week-long flagship event bringing companies, engineers, students and founders together - strengthening the regional innovation ecosystem, nurturing talent and reinforcing a culture of collaboration and experimentation.
2 – 7 November 2026 · Sibiu, Romania
The concept
Thousands of people here build technology that quietly shapes how we live.
We hear about AI, smart mobility, robotics, software-defined vehicles, cybersecurity and digital transformation every day. But what do these things actually look like in practice? How are companies using them? What problems do they solve - and what comes next?
Innovation Week is built around those questions. Rather than focusing on predictions, it focuses on technologies that already exist, products already being developed and ideas already finding their way into the real world.
2 – 7 November 2026
Six days. Six events. One audience.
