On May 10, 2023, U.S.-based location services company Telenav announced the closure of its office in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, by the end of 2024, resulting in layoffs for all 172 employees at that site. The company cited a difficult macroeconomic environment as the reason for the decision, aligning with broader tech industry downsizing trends. Affected staff will receive a comprehensive support package during the transition. Work from the Cluj office, which included contributions to ADAS development, map rendering, and OEM customer support, will be relocated to Telenav's other offices in the United States and China.
