Where Technology Meets Community
How About Tech is a technology media and community platform that connects people, companies, ideas, and local tech communities through news, events, education, and collaborative projects.
We bring together valuable insights, fresh perspectives, tech news, community stories, events, and innovative ideas from across the technology ecosystem. Our mission is simple: to deliver relevant tech content with clarity, objectivity, and a strong connection to the people behind the industry.
In a fast-moving digital world, we believe information should be timely, accessible, and useful. No unnecessary noise. No overcomplicated language. Just clear stories, meaningful conversations, and a platform where technology feels closer to the people and communities it impacts.
More Than Tech News
How About Tech is here for every kind of tech enthusiast – from curious beginners and students to experienced professionals, founders, companies, and community builders.
For us, technology is not only about products, trends, or headlines. It is about the people who create, test, improve, question, and use it every day. That is why How About Tech is more than a news platform. It is a hub for the tech community – a place where people and companies can share what they build, what they learn, what they believe in, and what matters for the future.
How it Started
How About Tech started with a simple idea: to create a tech portal that delivers news quickly, clearly, and in its most useful form.
No fluff. No waiting. No unnecessary complexity.
Since then, HAT has grown into a platform where local IT communities across Romania can make their progress visible, connect with each other, and collaborate on ideas, events, and projects that move the ecosystem forward.
We are global in perspective, but deeply local in action. We do not just write about community – we actively help build it.
Part of ACTS
How About Tech is part of ACTS – Asociația Comunități Tech Sustenabile, an NGO dedicated to promoting and developing local, regional, and national tech communities.
Through ACTS, our mission goes beyond media and events. We aim to support technology education, create access to learning opportunities, and help communities grow in a sustainable way.
The association focuses on:
- organizing conferences, workshops, training sessions, and educational events in technology;
- developing and supporting technology communities;
- offering resources and opportunities for professional development in IT;
- supporting access to tech education for young people interested in the field;
- building partnerships with educational institutions, companies, NGOs, and organizations that believe in digital education and long-term community impact.
Through this structure, How About Tech becomes part of a broader mission: to connect people, knowledge, companies, and communities around technology.
Building Community Through Events
Community grows best when people meet, talk, exchange ideas, and feel part of something real.
That is why we created and support events that bring technology closer to people in a relaxed, open, and friendly way.
Through IT BBQ Festival in Brașov and Iași, we brought together 2,000+ tech professionals and 150+ kids, combining industry talks, company activations, games, giveaways, burgers, ice-cold drinks, and a dedicated LEGO Robo Party for the little – and not so little – engineers.
Because networking works better when people feel comfortable.
And sometimes, the best tech conversations happen next to a grill.
Creating Bigger Conversations
Beyond community events, How About Tech also supports larger conversations that shape the region and bring together business, technology, education, and innovation.
Through projects like West Digital and Innovation Summit, we help create space for top industry speakers and professionals to explore topics such as AI, cloud, smart mobility, startups, digital infrastructure, and local talent.
We also support long-term community platforms such as Timișoara Revoluționară, built together with the community to discover, document, and share real impact stories – showing the city as it truly is: active, creative, and in constant transformation.
Our Voice
Our tone is tech-savvy, but human. Friendly, but sharp. Curious, but clear.
We cover topics such as AI, cybersecurity, software, gadgets, gaming, startups, digital innovation, business technology, and the people behind them.
We believe technology should be explained in a way that feels useful, approachable, and relevant – whether you are reading about a new product, a local startup, a major industry shift, or a community initiative worth knowing.
