We attended Google Cloud Day Romania 2026 today — an event proving the agentic era is no longer the future, it's the present. Visionary keynotes, 10+ top technical sessions, 11 world-class partners, and energy that keeps you hooked all day.
A Day That Redefines What AI Means in Business
On September 29, 2026, the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel hosted one of the most anticipated tech conferences in Romania: Google Cloud Day Romania 2026. Under the theme "Make it Happen with Google AI", the event brought together business leaders, engineers, developers, and tech enthusiasts for a day dedicated entirely to digital transformation and artificial intelligence.
The GreenSoft team was in attendance, and we came back with a wealth of knowledge, inspiration, and — most importantly — the confirmation that where our industry is heading is truly fascinating.
Keynote: Google Cloud's Vision for the Agentic AI Era
The day kicked off with a powerful keynote from Google Cloud's regional leadership. Boris Georgiev (Director, Google Cloud CEE & Central Asia), Carolin Eggers (Director AI & Data Analytics, EMEA), and Pavel Carballo (Head of AI GTM, Nordics & CEE) outlined how 2026 is the year AI moves from experimentation to enterprise-scale integration. Customer voices on the keynote stage: Alexandru Ilie, Director of IT at Orange Romania, and Peter Strazovec, CIO at Superbet.
The Sessions That Made Our Day
The Agentic Enterprise — Escape the "assisted" trap and enter the agentic era
Cosmin Pascu, Customer Engineer at Google Cloud, invited us to look beyond "assisted" AI and prepare for the agentic era, where AI systems orchestrate entire processes, make decisions, and act autonomously. The message was clear: companies staying in "assisted AI" will fall behind those adopting scalable, secure agentic models.
Tools in Action: Google Antigravity
Wietse Venema, Customer Engineer at Google Cloud, gave one of the most practical sessions — a live demo of Google Antigravity transforming the developer experience from coding to deployment in an integrated, intelligent workflow. Antigravity isn't just a tool — it's a new way of thinking about development.
mkdir agent && deploy — Juraj Gvoth
Juraj Gvoth, Customer Engineer at Google Cloud, showed just how accessible building and deploying an AI agent on Google Cloud has become. The technical barrier for agentic solutions has dropped dramatically — the time to act is now.
Building the Smart Enterprise with Gemini Enterprise
A concrete session on integrating Gemini Enterprise into complex business processes — from workflow automation to conversational analytics over BigQuery data — plus an introduction to "self-defending code" that auto-analyzes and identifies vulnerabilities before production.
Accelerating Enterprise Agent Deployment with Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform
One of the most technically impactful sessions. Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform provides a complete framework to build, test, deploy, and monitor AI agents at enterprise scale — with security controls, audit logs, and native GKE, Cloud Run, and Vertex AI integrations.
Trust in the Age of Agents: Enterprise Security for AI Platforms
As AI agents gain autonomy, security becomes critical. This session covered enterprise security models for AI platforms: blast radius limitation, least-privilege for agents, autonomous decision auditing, and GDPR/AI Act compliance. A must-see for any architect or CISO seriously considering AI adoption.
Orange & Google Cloud Platform: A Data Migration Story — Bogdan Hovanet
Bogdan Hovanet from Orange Romania shared a real, complete case study on migrating data from on-premise to Google Cloud — covering legacy dependency management, service continuity during migration, and turning an infrastructure move into an architecture modernization opportunity.
Better Together: The Best of Oracle and Google — Cristian Necula
Cristian Necula from Oracle presented the native Oracle + Google Cloud integration, including Oracle Database@Google Cloud — highly relevant for companies with existing Oracle investments wanting to leverage Google Cloud's AI and scalability without abandoning their current stack.
Data Quality by Design — Radu Sandulescu (Zitec)
Radu Sandulescu from Zitec tackled a critical topic: data quality as the foundation of any successful AI initiative. The session presented practical frameworks for building data pipelines with automated validation, alerting, and self-healing — so issues are caught before impacting business decisions or AI models.
Building AI Agents with Gemini Enterprise — Wise IT & Help Autism
One of the most moving sessions. The Wise IT team and Ionuț Cociaș from the Help Autism Association demonstrated an autonomous AI assistant helping coordinate services for people with autism — proof that AI can change lives, not just business processes.
Why Coding Agents Fail to Boost Productivity — Nik Tkachev (JetBrains)
Nik Tkachev from JetBrains bravely asked why many developers don't feel real productivity gains after adopting coding agents — and proposed concrete solutions to move from "impressive demos" to "real productivity gains".
