I am an action-oriented person who invests time and energy into the ideas I believe in.

My organisation

Transylvanian Furniture Cluster (TFC) represents the interests of the furniture value chain in Northern Transylvania - Romania since 2012. TFC includes members in the following categories: SMEs; Universities, public schools and research units; Public administration and supportive catalysts. Collaborations that occur between members of TFC or between the cluster and external partners create their own value chain, based on mutual trust, openness, opportunities and benefits for all involved. TFC develops networks and mechanisms that are able to accelerate the exchange of ideas, good practices, innovations and skills from one member to another, regardless of the geographical distance between them. We firmly believe that only together we can achieve those projects that need lots of resources and in exchange help the furniture industry to develop and keep being competitive.
