PANEL: Local Tech Ecosystem
summary
Panelists map concrete changes: Romania shifts from outsourcing to product ownership, local teams now run business lines worth hundreds of millions, and one early startup sale of about $10M proves the market can exit. Communities run mentorships and a PM academy with ~100 applicants for 25 places, DevOps marks a 10‑year anniversary, universities align curricula, and hiring shows product manager scarcity. The claim is that resilience, fast internet and focused communities are already producing product talent, though gaps in senior product roles remain.
