The main objective of this VMG is to give a first glance at the Romanian Fintech sector, on the one hand, and the Balkans’ one, on the other. It is planned to be a first step into (1) a thorough assessment of the Romanian and the Balkans’ FinTech industry, and (2) a tool to contribute to the strategy of engaging stakeholders in the CA 19130. Activities run under this VMG have the purpose to enhance academia – FinTech sector cooperation. The main goal of the VMG is to build the first report on the status of the Romanian Fintech industry.
The most important expected output and deliverable will be the first report assessing the state-of-the-art of the Romanian FinTech sector. This report will highlight the financial performance of the companies belonging to this industry, along with other characteristics of the market. The research and the output report are important pieces in the CA19130’s strategy to engage stakeholders, as they address all the actions mentioned in this strategy. Another scientific output of the VMG consists in the database that will encompass all the details related to the Romanian FinTech industry. This will be the starting point for the international assessment. A podcast will be another result of the VMG.
