Mindcraft Stories covers and publishes information on the latest developments in technology and scientific research. The organisation aims to contextualise, explain, and show its audience the connection between scientific and technological advances and their impact on society, business, and culture.
The newsroom uses accessible language to bring science and technology close to the public and spotlight the people spearheading these developments.
Mindcraft Stories is part of an initiative by BRD (BRD–Groupe Société Générale bank) to support journalism in Romania. The media organisation is exclusively funded by BRD but has complete editorial independence.
