Two global leaders in integrated telecommunications and future technologies – hub:raum, the incubator of Deutsche Telekom and Nokia – invite start-ups from across Europe to a new program: WARP Future Communication, a press release informs.

By participating, European start-ups, including those from Romania, gain the opportunity to accelerate their business and go to market with strong corporate partners within just a few months.

WARP Future Communication is designed for start-ups that can bring innovation to communication services and related areas such as speech recognition, parental control, artificial intelligence (AI), voice based messaging, digital life and generally enrich the voice and video communication experience. The program provides the start-ups with all the tools and resources needed to develop, scale and commercialize their service from both a technical and business perspective.

“WARP Future Communication offers a <triangle of power> which stems from the co-operation of Nokia, which offers the technical platform, Deutsche Telekom, which offers the distribution channel and via hub:raum provides the know-how and tools necessary to build, test, scale and commercialise the products,” the release reads.

Interested start-ups can apply at warpaccelerator.com/apply/ before 30th of April, 2017. The program will consist of onsite meetings, remote work (during which start-ups will receive individual help and support from business partners) and a summit at the end of the year.

“Joint and open innovation together with successful industry partners can successfully leverage corporate efforts to meet customer needs and requirements much better. This is why WARP Future Communication is so unique – it gives start-ups the opportunity to go to market fast with the support of two big corporations – Deutsche Telekom and Nokia”, explained Jakub Probola, Head of hub:raum for CEE region.

The expectations of the program founders are that by the end of the program 2-3 innovative solutions will be ready for a fast go to market. The start-up teams selected for the program will participate for free with no equity required and they will keep their own intellectual property.

I started my way in life with the intention to pursue a teaching career. But, after graduating from the Faculty of Letters – the University of Bucharest in 2004, my first job as a reporter at one of the leading newspapers in Romania changed my perspective. I have specialized in communication and communication campaigns, following the Master's courses at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Studies (FJSC), attending a BBC Communications scholarship.
I’ve represented several important publications in Romania as business journalist, being accredited in the finance and banking field. In 2015, I had the opportunity to interview the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Mission Chief for Romania, Andrea Schaechter. As business journalist, I also had the opportunity to interview ministers for Economics and Commercial
Affairs offices within different embassies in Romania or officials of large companies investing on the domestic market.
After almost 15 years of journalism, I still want to explore new ways, to inform and stay updated. That’s why The Romania Journal project fits me so well.
Today I describe myself as a passionate about the history of world culture, having a PhD in Hebrew Culture and Civilization, after a scholarship at the University of Haifa International School, as a language addict, an environmental activist, pet lover and traveler.
