“We often refer to small and medium-sized companies as the backbone of the economy. At Romania’s level, they generate two thirds of the jobs, being, thus, a vital component of the economy and an integral part of innovation and growth. The pandemic context has shown us even more clearly the importance and need to have a resilient business environment, ready to face and respond to any challenges. Unfortunately, small and medium-sized companies have been hit hardest and have been the most exposed, especially given a low degree of digitalization in this segment. We know that companies that invest in digital services have weathered the storm better by using technology to quickly adapt the way they work. The need for digital transformation therefore is critical for small and medium-sized businesses in Romania. Vodafone is committed to supporting them in this endeavor, to be a reliable partner for them in the process of digital transformation and adaptation to a constantly changing environment. The initiative to launch a platform that helps SMEs in Romania with relevant information and free expertise from our consultants is one of the tools through which we aim to achieve this goal”, said Mihnea Radulescu, Director Vodafone Business Unit, Vodafone Romania.
