“As a Fulbright Student Researcher, I had the opportunity to attend last month an Enrichment Seminar titled 'Technology, Entrepreneurship and Startups', which was held in Salt Lake City, Utah. During the three-day seminar, I engaged with other Fulbright Fellows and with representatives from the U.S. Department of State, non-profit sector leaders, academics, and community representatives.

Pertaining to my doctoral research, I study the Romanian ecosystem of artificial intelligence researchers and related business. The seminar provided me the unique occasion to gain direct knowledge about one of the fastest growing cities in the U.S., which is also home to a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in the field of technology. Through keynote presentations from business and community leaders, panel discussions involving successful tech entrepreneurs, on-site visits, and small group interactions, I deepened my understanding on how one of the top tech ecosystems is functioning.”
