Vice Premier Oana Gheorghiu announced that Romania will operationalize its government cloud in the summer, aiming to improve interoperability among state databases that currently remain fragmented. She criticized the lack of national coordination in digital procurement, noting that the same software is often sold to multiple municipalities. Gheorghiu said the cloud will not be mandatory, but institutions will be encouraged to join to ensure consistent, high‑quality services for citizens. The initiative involves agencies such as ADR, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Service for Digitalization and the Ministry of Digitalization, which will collaborate on interoperability solutions. The government’s goal is to streamline digital services so that citizens no longer need to search for information across multiple platforms.
