Innowave Summit is a Varna Brand Event held for the first time in Cluj-Napoca (Romania). It's one of the largest innovation events in Central and Eastern Europe, organized by the Bulgarian Business Forum (Varna), C-EDU Cluster of Education (Cluj-Napoca) and the Municipality of Cluj-Napoca in partnership with the City of Varna (Bulgaria). It is also part of the strategic activities of the first pan-European platform for collaboration and stimulation of start-ups in Europe and the world, StartupCities Platform, in which Varna and Cluj-Napoca function as founding members.
The connection and collaboration of the two cities are especially important in the context of the European Year of Youth. In the presence of the European commissioner for Innovation, Research, Culture, Education and Youth, Mariya Gabriel, the President of the European Committee of the Regions, Apostolos Tzitzikostas, and some of the most innovative mayors in Europe, Innowave Summit will show how two European cities work together to bring Youth and Education to the next level.
The vibrant appearance at this innovation and shared knowledge event would also present Cluj and Varna as cities of knowledge and would make the strong bond between these two cities visible to everyone.

The summit will gather policy makers, European startup communities, innovative leaders from regional and global market”.

Innowave Summit is one of the ways we invite communities to rejoin and discuss solutions that tackles vital problems for our cities, such as digital transformation, or accessing innovation European funding and opening access to eastern European startups, and most of all solution provider for the most urgent Green Deal needs”.
