“The Expert Hour | Episode 4 season 4”

In this episode of The Expert Hour, we sit down with Andrei Borțun, founder of The Institute and member of the Board of Advisors at Bucharest Business School.

A key figure in Romania’s creative ecosystem, Andrei shares how difficult it was in the beginning to make people believe in art — and how persistence turned that vision into something much bigger.

“We realized we had built something with much greater potential than we initially imagined.”

He also talks about creating Romanian Design Week, a platform that gives creative people the chance to be discovered, recognized, and connected.

This is a conversation about vision, courage, and building meaningful impact.
