10 New Tech Companies to keep an eye on in 2023: Meet HTEC Group
- Can you tell us in brief, who is HTEC Group globally and what role plays the Romanian entity in the overall business structure?
HTEC Group (HTEC) is a global consulting, software engineering, and digital product development company powering the technological evolution of the world's most impactful organizations – from disruptive startups to Fortune 500 companies. Founded in 2008 in Belgrade, Serbia, the company is now headquartered in San Francisco, with more than 2,000 experts spread across the traditional engineering hotspots of Central and Southeast Europe and consulting, innovation, and product design offices in Silicon Valley, New York, and London. With the highest level of expertise and extensive experience in a multitude of business domains – including Healthcare, Retail, Transportation and Smart Mobility, Logistics, FinTech, Green Energy, Media, and Deep Technology – HTEC is both an ideal technology partner for its clients and the ultimate growth platform for its employees.
HTEC entered the Romanian tech scene in June this year with a promise to bring cutting-edge technology and innovation to the region and opportunities for the local engineers to work on ground-breaking projects with world-leading companies. Romania plays an important role in the expansion of HTEC in Southeast and Central Europe, with its strong IT scene, competitive environment and quality education which create very talented engineers, designers and diverse experts who are ready to keep growing, learning and innovating with us.
- Can you give us some information about the type of projects you develop in Romania and what is the technology stack you use?
We nurture equal opportunities for our employees no matter where they come from. What this means is that there are no projects that are specifically developed in Romania. Our Romanian experts work with their colleagues in other countries in the region and globally to deliver the best possible solutions for our clients. The criteria for the projects that our employees work on is their expertise, not their location. Thus, we have diverse, multicultural teams that are bound by their experience, their expertise and their passion for a certain technology stack or industry and we're very proud of how well these teams function.
