Banca Transilvania opens the Hive

Banca Transilvania opens Stup, a physical and virtual space dedicated to supporting the entrepreneurial community. Under the #sefacelastup umbrella, BT has created the necessary infrastructure to connect entrepreneurs with providers of services and products for starting, running and managing a business. The Hive will include events for entrepreneurs and future entrepreneurs, organized by both BT and partners of this initiative. It is dedicated to all entrepreneurs, regardless of which bank they are clients of.

Stup is located in Bucharest, Calea Serban Voda 206-218, and online at www.btstup.ro. As a first step to the Stup community, an account on this online platform is required.

"Stup is BT's contribution to the growth of the entrepreneurial community. It will be a meeting place, a place of ideas, where businesses will be born, but also where we come up with solutions to their real needs. We want to contribute to the strengthening of Romania's entrepreneurial fabric", says Omer Tetik, Managing Director, Banca Transilvania.

"Any entrepreneur finds in Stup two important things for the day-to-day challenges of a business, the necessary advice and then the concrete implementation of the right solution, both related to the specifics of his business. And this saves time and brings a comfort of quality in the choices made", says Cristina Sindile, Managing Director, BT Mic.
