Moldova Business Week 2024: New Horizons for Business and Investment

From September 16 to 20, 2024, one of the most anticipated business events of the year took place in Moldova’s capital, Chișinău — Moldova Business Week. Every year, this event brings together representatives of international business, investors, government officials, and industry experts. The organizers — Invest Moldova Agency and the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization — worked hard to create a platform for discussing important issues and finding new paths for cooperation.

Why is Moldova Business Week important for Business?

MBW is more than just a conference; it’s an opportunity for participants to find new partners, learn more about Moldova’s investment potential, and explore new markets. This year’s key topics included digitalization, infrastructure development, agriculture, and energy. A significant point of interest was the discussion on reconstructing war-torn regions, particularly Ukraine, which opens new business opportunities across the region.

In his opening speech, Moldova’s Prime Minister Dorin Recean emphasized that the country aims to become a bridge between the European Union and Ukraine in the context of post-war reconstruction. This ambition makes Moldova attractive to international investors and entrepreneurs looking for growth opportunities in the region.

International cooperation and networking opportunities

One of the main benefits of Moldova Business Week, like every event of this scale, is the unique opportunity for networking. Participants had the chance to meet with government representatives, major international companies, investors, and local entrepreneurs. A key focus was placed on digitalization: currently, more than 80% of business processes in Moldova are conducted online, making the country a leader in this area in the region.

This year, numerous foreign delegations participated in the event, further opening the door for closer cooperation between Moldovan businesses and the global market. Government and business representatives actively shared information on investment projects in the country, offering new opportunities for development to the guests.

DOMOVA at Moldova Business Week

Among the participants of MBW 2024 was our team. In Moldova, where the issue of modernizing old housing is also relevant, we saw potential for developing our platform in this market.

Stanislav Soloshenko, DOMOVA’s Product Manager, had the opportunity to meet with Moldova’s Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Dumitru Alaiba. Their discussion focused on potential digital solutions for the real estate sector and collaboration opportunities through e-Park — Europe’s first electronic park supporting businesses.

​​Impressions and future plans

It was a great platform for exchanging ideas and building new contacts. For us, participation in the event was a valuable experience, as the team had the opportunity not only to present our platform but also to receive feedback from participants and get a closer look at the Moldovan market.

After the forum, we plan to continue exploring opportunities for cooperation and adapting our solutions to the Moldovan market. This is just the beginning, and more concrete steps toward development will follow, which we’ll be able to discuss publicly.
