Ziarul Financiar, ZF Corporate 2025: Tremend and two Digital Euro components

ZF Corporate, the subscribers’ platform of Ziarul Financiar, October 2025. Headline, in translation: “Romania, a key role in developing the Digital Euro project: local company Tremend, selected by the ECB alongside giants such as Capgemini and equensWorldline, will develop two essential components of the infrastructure of the future digital currency”. Readable part: the headline and the first line of the lead. The lead: through Tremend Software Consulting, part of Publicis Sapient, Romania secured a role in the European Union’s Digital Euro project. My quotes, as co-founder of Tremend, come from the SPEED 2025 conference, in ZF’s open ZF Live article on the same event.

Quotes translated from Romanian, with the original alongside.

§Two of the five projects

“We are glad that the European Central Bank chose us as implementation partner for two of the five projects they put out to tender for building this Digital Euro.” („Ne bucurăm că Banca Centrală Europeană ne-a ales pe noi ca partener de implementare pentru două din cele cinci proiecte pe care le-au scos la licitaţie pentru realizarea acestui Digital Euro.”)

The bank develops some components internally and some externally (ZF Live, 2025).

Elsewhere. October 2025, my proudest milestone yet: “being part of the team chosen by the European Central Bank to deliver not one, but two of the core systems for the Digital Euro” (How many IT systems can you build in one career?).

§The applications and the alias register

On the external side: an area of applications and a development kit, and an alias area, “like an identity register” („ca un registru de identităţi”). Every user will have one or more aliases to operate with. These two projects, the applications and the alias, are done within Tremend. Part of them “will be developed by the team in Romania” („o parte vor fi dezvoltate de echipa din România”).
