About

Since 2007 Top Talents is the largest student competition in Romania. 1200 of the best students and fresh graduates compete in a tough selection process for a place in the final. The selection process includes motivation, CV scoring for international experience, extracurricular activities, academic results. In the end, 150 students are selected from a pool of 1200 top applicants.

They all participate in a two-day event where they can meet international speakers, CEOs, and TOP Managers from companies with talent high on their agenda. In the two days of the event, they attend leadership and development conferences, case studies, business simulations, Masterclasses and a Start Up Competition. The event includes a networking space to meet employers and discuss career opportunities, such as internships, trainee and management trainee programs.

See you in November 2023 for our next, physical edition.
