About ViitorTransilvania

Born in Cluj, rooted in Vancouver - mixing Eastern European grit with Canadian strategic thinking

Our Story

ViitorTransilvania started in 2018 with a simple idea: help businesses bridge the gap between international ambition and Romanian market reality. What began as a small consulting practice in Cluj-Napoca has grown into a full business development partner for companies across Europe and North America.

Our perspective is unique because our founders come from different worlds—deep roots in Transylvanian culture and business mixed with extensive experience in Canadian and North American markets. This dual lens helps us turn international practices into strategies that work locally.

In 2020, we opened a Vancouver office to better serve international clients eyeing Romania. Today, we've supported over 50 successful ventures, from startups finding their place in Cluj's tech scene to established companies working through complex regulations.
