INNES’ innovation center will be located in Craiova, Romania effective 2022. But our eco-system extends far beyond our physical home – across national borders and oceans and far into cyberspace.
Our mission is to enable enterprises of all sizes to become active players in the global community. We do this by creating a network of respected professionals in all corners of the globe to unite in driving innovation. The opportunities are limitless… as for too long, SMEs have been left out of global expansion because of lack of resources.
