VIDEO | Interviu. Mai mulți angajați în IT, în ciuda concedierilor, conform datelor din industrie. Corina Vasile ANIS: "Nu vedem o scădere a industriei, dar e vizibillă o plafonare a creșterii"
Despite recent layoffs in the tech sector, Romania's IT workforce grew by 4.6% in 2025, reaching 204,846 employees. Corina Vasile from ANIS highlights the industry's resilience amid global challenges and calls for accelerated digital transformation. While the growth is modest, it reflects a shift towards medium and large companies, with a slowdown in new small business creation. The industry is adapting by pivoting to higher value-added projects, although many companies struggle to retrain staff quickly enough. Additionally, there is a notable movement of IT specialists into other sectors, indicating a broader demand for tech expertise. However, Romania lags in innovation, ranking last in the EU for public R&D funding, which poses challenges for future competitiveness.
