You need also a bank. For this reasons, we want to be a bridge between the world of business and the creative industries, to promote the authentic stories, the people behind them and with them, we want to develop a sustainable market of romanian design" says Anca Nuţă, First VP, Identity and Communication Director UniCredit Bank Romania.
