Freshly returned from CeBIT Trade Fair 2017 in Hannover, the INSOFTDEV team is excited to share key highlights and insights from one of the world’s largest digital technology events.
This marked our third participation as part of the Romanian IT delegation, and with each edition, our expectations have grown — and once again, they were fully met. CeBIT continues to be an outstanding opportunity for networking, learning, and showcasing innovation on a global stage.
Throughout the event, we engaged with a diverse range of international tech companies, explored new partnership opportunities, and forged meaningful connections that will support our future growth. A special highlight was the Romanian Party Night, a vibrant networking event that contributed to building stronger business relationships in a relaxed setting.
Our flagship solution, the Smart2Car booking and dispatch platform, stood out among visitors to our stand. With a suite of new features introduced this year, the system received strong interest as a comprehensive and reliable solution for ground transportation companies.
