Electronic signature in Bucharest: IT outsourcing and nearshoring contracts
Bucharest is the EU’s fastest-growing IT outsourcing centre, home to thousands of developers and nearshoring companies. Slovak technology firms source development capacity from Bucharest, while Romanian startups expand into Slovak markets — in both cases, contracts need to be signed quickly and with full legal validity.
Why Bucharest and e-signatures go together
1. IT outsourcing: dozens of contracts per month
Nearshoring and outsourcing IT capacity from Bucharest is common practice for Slovak technology companies. Service agreements, framework contracts and NDAs are concluded digitally — no paper documents sent by courier.
2. Fast-growing fintech
Romania’s fintech sector is one of the most dynamic in the CEE region. Compliance documents, KYC agreements and partnership deals between fintech firms are signed electronically, with the audit trail providing necessary assurances for regulators.
3. Automotive supply chain
International automotive companies with operations in Bucharest conclude subcontracting agreements, SLAs and purchase orders with Slovak suppliers. Electronic signatures reduce contract closure time from weeks to hours.
Legal framework
- eIDAS (EU 910/2014) — valid across the EU including Romania
- Legea nr. 455/2001 — Romania’s electronic signature law (being harmonised with eIDAS)
For standard commercial contracts (NDAs, service agreements, employment contracts) an advanced electronic signature (AdES) is sufficient.
