5G EVE consortium partner Orange Romania participated with a demo booth at the Digital Assembly 2019 in Bucharest on 13-14 June. The event in the capital of Romania attracted more than 400 participants from industry and academia as well as from public-sector organisations and government.

At the Digital Assembly stakeholders took stock of the achievements of the Digital Single Market Strategy and discussed the contours of a future digital policy. The event was also a great opportunity to showcase how digital technologies are transforming our societies and economies. It was co-organised by the European Commission and the Romanian Presidency of the Council of the European Union.
