As more and more girls want to make their mark in tech, Technovation Girls România exceeds 1,500 entries for the 2025 edition! This is great news, confirming the desire of young women in Romania to learn, innovate and build a future in technology and entrepreneurship.
Ce este Technovation Girls?
Technovation Girls is a educational program free, organized by Adfaber in Romania,, which offers girls aged 8 to 18 the opportunity to learn programming, entrepreneurship, and leadership, in an environment that encourages them to create digital solutions for real-world problems.
What will the participants learn at Technovation Girls?
Participants in Technovation Girls Romania have the opportunity to develop a mobile app that provides a concrete solution to a real-world problem in their community. This process helps them put their creativity into practice, as well as their knowledge in technology.
As well as the technical side, teams have to create a solid business plan and present their idea in front of a panel of technology and entrepreneurship experts. This gives them a better understanding of how product development and promotion works.
The girls work in teams of 1 to 5, with mentoring and access to interactive educational resources. Through this process, they develop both their technology skills and their collaboration and leadership skills.
The best projects can reach the international finals of the competition, giving participants the chance to showcase their idea globally and network with industry experts.
An important step for girls in the field of technology
The free international Technovation Girls program offers Romanian schoolgirls aged between 8 and 18 the opportunity to take the first steps towards a career in technology and entrepreneurship. In this program, teams of 1 to 5 girls work with mentors, volunteers and coordinating teachers to develop innovative IT solutions. Participants identify real problems in their communities and learn to create mobile apps that address these challenges. Throughout the program, they benefit from interactive lessons, step-by-step guides, and mentoring sessions, all designed to develop their technology skills. At the end, the teams present their projects at the Technovation Girls competition, with the chance to win prizes and gain international recognition.
Next steps in the Technovation Girls program
Participants in Technovation Girls Romania must complete and upload their projects to the platform by May 5, 2025. This is the deadline for submitting applications developed within the program.
After this stage, the projects will be evaluated and the girls will receive feedback from the jury. These recommendations will help them improve their ideas and develop their skills in both technology and entrepreneurship.
The highest scoring teams will have the chance to be selected for the Regional Pitch Event, a live judging event. Participants will present their projects to a panel of judges and the best teams can advance directly to the international semi-finals of the competition.
Mentors, teachers and partners support girls in this competition
Without the involvement of the mentors, coordinating teachers and partners who support this program, more than 1,500 girls would not have had access to this unique development opportunity. The support of these professionals plays a crucial role in guiding the participants, giving them not only technical and entrepreneurial knowledge, but also the confidence to turn their ideas into reality.
Volunteer mentors help the girls develop critical thinking, improve their solutions, and learn how to collaborate effectively in a team. The coordinating teachers contribute with guidance and educational support, ensuring that each team can fully maximize its potential.
Technovation Girls Romania is not just a competition, but an educational program, a strong community where young girls discover that they can have a real impact in technology and entrepreneurship. With each edition, the program continues to inspire and open new paths for girls, preparing them to become tomorrow's leaders in the digital field.
