Report in progress

State of AI adoption in Romanian companies

Our flagship report will look at where Romanian companies use AI today, what holds them back and what they plan next. Findings are not published yet. Leave your email to get the report when it is ready, or contribute your own answers.

Contributing means taking the free AI Readiness Assessment. It takes about 10 minutes.

The starting point

Romanian enterprises using AI
5.2%
EU average
20%

How we are building the report

The gap between 5.2% and the EU average is the question behind this research: is it about budgets, skills, data, regulation or the lack of proven use cases? The planned method:

  1. Official baseline

    We start from Eurostat's enterprise survey on the use of AI technologies, so every finding can be compared with official EU data.

  2. Decision-maker survey

    A structured questionnaire for business and technology leaders in Romanian companies: current AI use cases, budgets, blockers, build versus buy, and awareness of the EU AI Act.

  3. Assessment data

    Anonymised, aggregated answers from the free AI Readiness Assessment, shown only where the group is large enough that no company can be identified.

  4. Open method

    The report will publish the questions, sample description, limitations and data tables alongside the findings, so others can cite and check them.
