Innovation Labs has been a driving force in nurturing the Romanian tech startup ecosystem for over a decade. Our mission is to empower early-stage tech startups by providing a tailor-made mentorship program and continuous support. We aim to increase the entrepreneurial culture among young people and contribute to developing an economy based on innovation and intellectual property created in Romania. Participants materialize their business passions within a team, a mentor community, and the technical entrepreneurial ecosystem.
More than just a competition, our pre-accelerator program offers a transformative journey for participating teams, mentors, and judges. We bring together 19 universities across Romania into 4 national main centers (Bucharest, Cluj, Iasi, Timisoara), +20 corporations, 4 organizing NGOs, numerous partner NGOs, 3 VCs, 2 Angel Networks, as well as public administration – to maximize the support for tech and non-tech founders.
Andrei Pitiș and Răzvan Rughiniș founded Innovation Labs in 2013, and over the last 12 years, we’ve welcomed over 600 teams into the Innovation Labs community, spanning more than 4,300 individuals who attended our national Hackathons. This vibrant alumni network bears testimony to the profound impact our program has had on their technical development and professional growth.
As we embark on our 12th program edition, we extend a warm invitation to the AmCham Romania community members to join us for the Innovation Labs Bucharest Hackathon! This program-opening thrilling event will take place on March 9 & 10 at the Central Library of the POLITEHNICA Bucharest National University for Science and Technology.

Let us welcome you to the Innovation Labs Bucharest Hackathon!
