To our jury members: thank you for your sharp insights, thoughtful questions, and belief in young innovators. To our mentors, trainers, and experts: your guidance shaped not only the startups, but the people behind them. Real innovation? It happens when knowledge is shared, and when a community builds each other up. We see you. We thank you. And we’re better because of you. 🤝 #FIXCluj #FIXMentors #FIXExpert #FIXJury #community #support #guidance
