Kaizen Foundation Launches in Romania and contributes €350,000 to the Renovation of a Critical Section in the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital
The Kaizen Foundation together with the “Doctors for Romania” Association announced the completion of a major renovation project at the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital, modernising the whole area intended for the treatment of serious cases for children up to three years old. This initiative is the first project funded by the Kaizen Foundation in Romania, marking the launch of the Foundation’s activity in the country.
The Kaizen Foundation has been the main donor of the project, contributing €350,000 for the renovation of this critical facility of the Pitesti Pediatric. It is the largest of its kind in the area, also serving the counties of Argeș, Vâlcea and Dâmbovița, and providing care to over 30,000 children every year. It is the first renovation of this critical section since the establishment of the Pediatric Hospital in the city of Pitesti, 40 years ago. The project was initiated by the “Doctors for Romania” Association.
“A couple of weeks ago we announced the establishment of Kaizen Foundation and the start of our first project, the renovation of the Penteli Children’s General Hospital in Athens, Greece. We are very proud that our second major grant, this time in Romania, delivers a completed project. What we see here today gives us strength for the path that lies ahead for the Kaizen Foundation. This renovation will benefit the youngest of patients of the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital, helping them fight battles that they shouldn’t have to fight, especially at the beginning of their lives. We are grateful to the ‘Doctors for Romania Association’ for all their hard work to deliver the results we see today and of course, everyone else who contributed in making this project a reality, from the local authorities to the hospital’s medical staff. Through the Kaizen Foundation, we aim to respond quickly and with consistency to the pressing needs of local communities across the world,” Panos Konstantopoulos, President of the Kaizen Foundation, said.
The inauguration ceremony took place in Pitesti, in the presence of the Romanian Prime MInister’s State Counsellor, the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Health, other central and local authorities’ representatives and members of the business community that supported the project. The refurbishment of the space provides a safe, clean and modern environment for young children and their families to receive the necessary care, facilitating speedier recovery and completion of treatment. The renovation covered an area of over 1100 square meters, including major reconstruction work to create sanitary units for every ward, while maintaining the same number of beds.
“At first, the idea of renovating the Pitesti Pediatric Hospital’s sixth floor probably seemed like a bold vision. Today, with the generous support of our partners, we have been able to turn this vision into reality. Through our joint efforts, we have renovated this hospital floor, which will serve as a sanctuary of healing for children and their families. This renovation is not simply an improvement to the infrastructure, but a symbol of love, care and true commitment to the health and happiness of our children. I would like to thank our donors, especially our lead partner, the Kaizen Foundation, because without their generosity and dedication to our cause, this impressive accomplishment would not have been possible. We are deeply grateful for their involvement and for being part of this journey with us,” said Alexandru Costache, President of Doctors for Romania Association.
Award-winning sportsbook provider strengthens LATAM presence by integrating with leading iGaming platform ecosystem ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup
2, June 2026: Altenar, a leading sportsbook provider, has partnered with Atlaslive to integrate its fully managed sportsbook into the company’s iGaming platform ecosystem, expanding access to its award-winning sports betting technology for operators across Latin America.
Through the integration, Atlaslive-powered operators will gain access to Altenar’s complete sportsbook solution alongside the platform’s existing infrastructure, enabling operators to choose the sportsbook configuration that best aligns with their market strategy, regulatory requirements, and player acquisition goals.
The partnership further strengthens Altenar’s presence across LATAM and supports its strategy of making flexible, high-performance sportsbook technology available through leading platform providers. By combining Altenar’s sportsbook capabilities with Atlaslive’s scalable platform environment, operators benefit from greater deployment flexibility without compromising on performance, trading depth, or operational efficiency.
With the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching, demand for scalable and reliable sportsbook technology is expected to increase significantly. The integration positions operators to capitalise on one of the highest-volume periods in the sports betting calendar with reduced implementation timelines and a proven sportsbook solution designed to perform under peak demand.
Altenar currently operates across more than 50 regulated jurisdictions and holds licences from major regulatory authorities including the UKGC, MGA and AGCO. Most recently, the company was recognised as Best Online Sportsbook Provider at the SiGMA South America Awards 2026, following its Sportsbook Supplier of the Year win at the SBC Awards Latinoamérica 2024.
Frederico Caputi, Senior Sales Manager at Altenar, said:
“We are pleased to partner with Atlaslive and bring our sportsbook technology to their growing operator network. This integration expands the reach of our fully managed sportsbook solution while giving operators more flexibility in how they build and scale their sports betting offering.
“Through this collaboration, operators gain access to a proven sportsbook product that combines live betting capabilities, advanced risk management, and extensive sports content with the speed and scalability required to succeed in competitive markets.”
Volodymyr Taftai, Country Director for Brazil at Atlaslive, added:
“Giving operators real choice in how they build their sportsbook is a competitive advantage – for them and for us. Altenar’s track record across regulated markets and their depth in risk management and trading make them the right partner to start with. We’re expanding our platform into a multi-sportsbook ecosystem because that’s what operators in today’s market need: flexibility without compromise on quality.”
The agreement reinforces Altenar’s commitment to building an open and adaptable sportsbook ecosystem that enables operators and platform providers to deliver differentiated sports betting experiences across regulated markets worldwide.
