Abstract: In the late 1990s, Romania became an attractive area for large and medium international information and communication technology(ICT) companies interested in establishing a base in the region. This article explains the factors that led to the creation of an astonishing number (i.e., almost 15,000) active ICT companies and presents a model for forecasting the future demand of ICT specialists in the Romanian labor market. By using this model, decision makers will be able to design educational programs according to trends in the labor market. A large set of data is also included in the article as a foundation for the analysis.
