ICI Bucharest participated on Wednesday, November 26, 2025, at the Romanian Economic Forum 2025, an event dedicated to the dialogue on Romania's economic and geopolitical directions after the 2024–2025 electoral cycle. This year's edition was held under the theme "Elections after the elections: through discipline, towards development".
Within the Forum, ICI Bucharest was represented as a speaker in the Session "Geo(economic)politics: security and freedom in international relations". The discussions in this session focused on Romania's strategic repositioning in the regional and global context, the security economy, the energy transition, and the role of artificial intelligence and robotics in global value chains.
The event brought together representatives of the administration, the financial sector, and the private, academic, and research environments to analyse priorities such as fiscal discipline, structural reforms, institutional efficiency, and public-private partnerships.
In this framework, ICI Bucharest supported the need to accelerate digital transformation to increase administrative capacity and stimulate economic innovation.
How can public authorities use artificial intelligence and other digital technologies to improve services for citizens? This was one of the topics addressed at Smart City Expo World Congress 2026, held from 3 to 5 November in Barcelona, where the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest was also present.
Public institutions manage large volumes of data, but this information is not always easy to access or use in decision-making. Data is often spread across different systems, making information sharing between institutions a challenge. These issues were discussed at AdvanceGov 2026, an event attended by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest.
Analyzing cryptocurrency transactions may require correlating information from different sources and tools. How these can be integrated to support digital forensic investigations was the focus of the dissemination event “Cryptoassets and Digital Forensics: Integrated Solutions for Investigations”, organized by ICI Bucharest on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
