Description
Seini Smart Specialization Park is an innovative project developed by Seini municipality, aimed at promoting economic development and innovation in the region. Managed by SC Centrul de Afaceri RO-UA SRL, this park focuses on attracting investments and supporting local and international entrepreneurship.
The project benefits from €2.30 million in funding, provided through the North-West Regional Program 2021-2027, dedicated to developing the necessary modern infrastructure. Additionally, a pre-reserved budget of €8 million is available for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), providing significant financial support for their growth.
The Seini Smart Specialization Park is located in the central-southeastern part of Seini city, Maramureș County, with access from Cuza Vodă Street. It is within the urban area, in a zone designated for industrial and storage activities.
Currently, the land is free of construction, except for an industrial enclave in the northern corner, which includes a concrete station and an auto service. It is bordered by green spaces and planted alignment areas, with residential areas, a SMURD center, and a health protection zone near zootechnical farms.

SC RO-UA SRL Business Center manages the Smart Specialization Park Seini and is headquartered in Seini, Maramureș. The sole associate is the Seini Local Council. The company has experience in management consulting, organizing economic events, developing cross-border projects, and promoting sustainable urban mobility initiatives, managing investments worth tens of millions of lei.
Its main activities include park management, monitoring the implementation of the project, and ensuring innovation through collaborations with universities and research institutes. In this regard, SC Centrul de Afaceri RO-UA SRL collaborates with the "Vasile Goldiș" Western University based on a partnership agreement to support the innovative nature of activities within the park and facilitate knowledge and technology transfer.
Additionally, the Business Center facilitates Romanian-Ukrainian economic cooperation, offering support to businesses in Transylvania interested in business relations with Ukraine.
Given that the understanding of the concept of innovation is relatively new, the staff designated for the project implementation within the Seini City Hall will collaborate with a significant regional center with considerable experience in research and development activities – the "Vasile Goldiș" Western University of Arad, Baia Mare branch.
The University reviewed the proposals from the companies that submitted letters of intent to Seini Municipality and confirmed the eligibility of the proposed activities for promoting the park, in accordance with the provisions of the Funding Guides 112 and 132.A.1.
At the university level, scientific research is conducted in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields, economic sciences, social sciences, and law.
The University has 6 faculties and 4 branches, offering 42 bachelor’s programs, 26 master’s programs, and 2 doctoral schools. Through the support letter sent to the Applicant, the University expresses its intention to support the resident SMEs in the development and implementation of innovative projects.
