Invested: 2.5 million €; Profit: 70 visitors per day
Yes, the Romanian Government invested 2.5 million Euros in a website which now doesn’t have more than 70 unique visitors per day. The website address is www.business-entrepreneur.ro.
The Romanian Government contracted 4 foreign companies to create this website. Because of the poor results, now another 1 million € will be invested in revitalizing and rebranding.
Although IT specialists stated that the invesment is absolutely ridiculous compared to the results, nobody checked this project and the way the funds have been spent.
PHARE funds thrown through the window: 46 experts contributed at this project, 15 internationals and 31 romanians. In order to host about 70 visitors per day, another 550.000 Euros have been spent only on the hardware: 15 servers, an Oracle platform, 5 laptops, 5 monitors, one projector and 2 printers (I guess laser printers
).
Well, if we link to this 2.5 mil Euro website, maybe it will reach 100 visitors soon. ![]()
