On April 2, 2025, ADV Romania was honored with an award from the Prefect’s Institution of Iași County, during an event dedicated to the Day of the Prefect’s Institution. The ceremony took place in the Senate Hall of “Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University of Iași and highlighted organizations and individuals who contribute to the common good through their work.

The award presented to Angela Achiței, president of the ADV Romania Group, is an official recognition of the vital role the social economy plays in Iasi county’s development — by creating jobs for vulnerable people, providing essential community services, driving social innovation, and encouraging responsible entrepreneurship..

“We are a group of six interconnected social enterprises, and we have managed to grow from social services into social entrepreneurship because our vision has always been to build fishing rods for our beneficiaries and teach them how to fish. I believe we’ve succeeded, at least in part—though still too little, considering how great the needs are in our community,” said Angela Achiței during the award ceremony.

We thank the Prefect’s Institution of Iași County, Prefect Luciana Antoci, and the entire team for their trust, collaboration, and constant support for the social economy sector. We are proud to be part of a county that believes in partnership and heartfelt innovation.
