Digital Transatlantic Bridges
summary
Romania hosts ~3,000 IBM staff across four delivery centers that build core products (the Watson scoring engine is produced there), a Canadian firm ships healthcare apps from Cluj that speed time-to-market, a startup sells data-lake and predictive analytics services, and a consultancy runs global open‑source JavaScript meetups that drive 100,000 monthly blog visitors and inbound leads. Teams use adapted design‑thinking for distributed groups, make small prototype bets under progressive investment, exchange staff for market context, and these practices measurably convert experiments into paid projects.
