Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for the Internal Market, visited on Thursday the Bucharest offices of technology company UiPath, the first company with Romanian founders to surpass the $1 billion market value.
The EU official praised the company and explained that UiPath has helped the European Medicines Agency with automation solutions that have contributed to faster reporting of critical shortages.
“Romania has talent and digital skills! We had a productive meeting this morning in Bucharest at UiPath, the country’s first unicorn. During the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the automation solutions developed here helped the European Medicines Agency to report critical shortages faster,” said Thierry Breton, European Commissioner for the Internal Market, according to a Facebook post from the European Commission Representation in Romania.
