Romanian IT experts Adrian Pica and Andrei Firoiu recently launched an app for mobile phones that helps business people connect with other professionals around them.

“What we create is a mini social network at a conference, a professional social network,” said Adrian Pica, cited by local Digi24.

About 2,000 users worldwide have accessed the app in just 2 days. Most of those who downloaded and currently use this app are from UK, the US, and Italy.

The app, which is called Oblico, is mainly useful in conferences. It creates a business profile for entrepreneurs using information available online and recommends them the compatible business people they should get in contact with.

Foreigners also invested in Romanians’ idea and provided a grant of EUR 25,000 for its improvement.
