The history of the Port of Constanta dates back to the 6th century BC when the area was first inhabited. As the ancient fortress of Tomis, it was given city status by Rome in the 1st century AD and later renamed Constanta in honor of Emperor Constantine I. After being invaded by barbarians during the Byzantine-Roman period, Genoese merchants remained active in the port. After becoming part of the Ottoman Empire, the port saw modest trade activity that contributed to regional development. After Romania gained independence in 1877, initiatives were undertaken to develop the port and take advantage of its strategic location, with the goal of making it one of the most important in the Orient.

I gave this talk at Cluj Innovation Days 2016, "Cluj Innovation Days (CID) is annual event organized by Cluj IT Cluster aiming at consolidating the IT sector and creating new innovation based bridges among businesses, academia and the public sector" (http://clujinnovationdays.com/). This year, the themes of the conference were Digital Medicine and Digital Governance. My presentation had a few goals: offer an overview of digital health, point out why all stakeholders have a role to play and why interdisciplinary and cross sector collaborations are key ingredients. I could only hope it inspired and instigated involvement. I believe Central and Eastern Europe is on an innovation wave, as need, skills and opportunities start to come together. In turn, I was impressed and inspired by Cluj and its entrepreneurial vibe.

Since ancient times, people have been exploring unknown lands and foreign countries with customs and traditions different from their own. This eagerness for something new made people travel, discover new territories, create routes and build roads connecting distant parts of the globe. Merchants’ caravans carrying commodities, ambassadors, explorers and travelers walked along these routes.
Trade, being one of the most significant factors of the historical process, encouraged the interaction of different cultures. At the same time, the representatives of different regions exchanged information from different fields of knowledge: inventions, technologies and crops were borrowed and assimilated. Although separated by long distances, civilizations established a dialogue, enriching each other and giving impulse to further development.
The earliest information about trade relations between different countries dates back to the 2nd millennium bc. At that period there were already trade routes which spanned the Ancient East including Bactria, Media, Persia, Armenia, India, Arabia and Western Asia. In antiquity trade was a risky business, but, on the other hand, it guaranteed a considerable profit in case of success. International trade flourished in peacetime and diminished in wartime, but never ceased.
In the Middle Ages a stable and developed system of international trade routes functioned, connecting almost all the civilizations of the Old World: the Silk Road, the Saharan Trade Routes, the Trade Route from the Varangians to the Greeks, etc. New merchants’ commercial confederations like the Hanseatic League and such city-states as medieval Venice and Genoa came into existence, specializing in international trade. Beginning with the Age of Discovery (since 1475), an opportunity to deliver Indian goods to European ports only by sea has become available. The Manila Galleons, which sailed over the Pacific Ocean from Manila (the Philippines) to Acapulco (Mexico) embodied Christopher Columbus’s dream about trading with the East.
Most of those ancient routes are nowadays not more than objects of historical research, however, some of them — for example, the Saharan Trade Routes or the Great Trunk Road — are still in use, keeping up with the modern pace of life. Trade routes continue their everlasting journey through space and time, connecting countries and being the media of the dialogue of civilizations.
