We have built several properties that we have sold and these are our income. We build real estate, we sell, we conduct real estate transactions per person. About this was the business from which our wealth came. Over time I had several investments, I built several houses that I sold in my personal name. to build. We are quite stable “said Aida Szilagyi for “Adevărul”.

In the internal campaign for the nomination of the USR candidate for the Timişoara City Council, Aida Szilagyi introduced herself to the USR members, showing her professional career as an employee of the Solventul chemical plant until the foundation of the NGO in the field of The ecology.
“I was born to Roman parents, in the smallest town in the country, the town of Nucet, County Bihor, the only one in the area that had a maternity hospital at the time. I grew up in the city of Dr. Petru Groza, now Ştei, a city with symmetrical streets and uniform buildings, built by the Russians in the post-war years, during the exploitation of non-ferrous minerals and uranium, expensive resources that took the road of the USSR.
I did high school in Oradea, where I attended the biological chemistry department, the only one in the county. Since I liked the logic of chemistry, I decided to pursue chemical engineering, after which I was assigned to Margina, a section of the Solvent chemical plant. After December 1989, I also transferred many parts (!) To Solventul Timişoara where I worked three shifts in the polyethylene production section, until the factory was permanently stopped, the source of raw materials was cut off due to the war in Serbia .
The encounter with ecology took place in the 2000s, when for a time I coordinated environmental issues in Solectron Romania, where I began to train as a professional. Since 2007, as a senior consultant for Denkstatt Romania, I started working with the City Council on several projects: Feasibility study of the composting plant, Inventory of Greenhouse Emissions and the first strategy to combat climate change in Romania. ; The Conurbant Project and collaboration with the Action Plan to Fight Climate Change 2015-2020.
In 2010, we founded the Association of the National Center for Sustainable Consumption and Production, a flagship organization promoting eco-efficiency in industry and the transition to a green economy. I have consecutively played the role of President, Manager, Trainer, Expert or Promoter in numerous national and international projects for the benefit of the public and private sectors. I recently finished my doctoral thesis entitled “Innovative approaches for the application of eco-efficiency in companies” and I want in the future to have the opportunity to insert in university programs new topics such as resource efficiency, eco-innovation or the circular economy, which are so necessary to develop real skills in the field of sustainability for the new generations ”.
