“Google's expertise and contribution are key to implementing highly effective and secure public services for Romanians,” said Romanian PM Marcel Ciolacu.
At the same time, Thomas Kurian, Google Cloud's CEO, pointed out that he discussed with Romanian officials about the acceleration of digital transformation for public services in Romania and the opportunities to implement AI.
"Google Cloud is dedicated to helping increase the adoption of cloud technologies and facilitating innovative digital public services, in line with Romania's digital transformation goals and the targets of Europe's Digital Decade for 2030," added the CEO.
Romania has designed the creation of a government cloud for public services as a project of strategic importance. The first step of this project should be completed by Q2 2025 with funding from the National Plan for Recovery and Resilience (PNRR), according to the Romanian Digitalization Authority (ADR).
