Social media is so much more than just Facebook and Twitter

IBM, Ikea, Starbucks, Dell, Nokia, Ford, Obama and many others have successfully benefited from the use of social media in their operations. When well implemented, social media is not just a detached marketing tool, but an integral part of all business activities.

The goal of Bridge is to explore opportunities in another country where the language, commercial practices, local culture and administrative processes are just some of the features that can so easily be perceived as barriers rather than market opportunities.

• Introduce relevant organizations to each other, establish clear lines of communication.

• Collect better ideas and take them into action as concrete products.

• Inspire staff to increase efficiency with digital tools and online collaboration.

BRIDGE will take what should be the core of the business out of the immediate influence of politics and group interests and place it on a visible platform, restoring and giving back to business what should belong to it: freedom from political interference.

Today, there is no COHERENT BUSINESS SYSTEM. A Romanian Businessseeks first of all connections at political level. A UK business seeks most

of the time political connections as the first steps to introducing itselfto the Romanian market. Business relations function mainly through the hands

of politicians and their interest groups.

Concrete Results

Today THERE IS NO SYSTEM to give a UK company a bird's eye view of the map of business opportunities in Romania.

BRIDGE will enterprise a CARTOGRAPHY of the business opportunities
