The 2025 edition of Bright Labs, a program dedicated to supporting founder-centric tech initiatives, has officially launched in Oradea, Romania.

This exciting venture, backed by a public-private partnership, offers a unique opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs eager to grow their startups.

Partnership and Local Support

Bright Labs thrives with the backing of experienced founders who have successfully built and scaled companies.

The program collaborates closely with the Oradea Municipality, which has become a beacon for economic development, attracting over €1 billion in public infrastructure investments and spurring more than €500 million in private investments in recent years.

Key private partners in this initiative include Orange Romania and Startup Wise Guys, both adding valuable expertise and resources to the program’s success.

Aimed at Early-Stage Entrepreneurs

The 2025 edition builds on the foundations laid by previous exploratory editions, which attracted founders from across Europe, including France, the UK, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria, Ukraine, and Estonia.

Over the course of 100 days, the program offers a comprehensive, hands-on experience for early-stage founders, guiding them to identify real-world problems, develop innovative products, and launch their startups.
