President Maia Sandu today opened the European Union–Republic of Moldova Investment Conference, together with EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos and Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu. The event brought together international financial institutions, private investors from the European Union, and Moldovan companies.

In her opening remarks, the Head of State said that the presence of European investors in Chișinău reflects a shift in how the Republic of Moldova is perceived. “Your presence here is a message that Moldova is now seen with greater confidence and greater interest,” Maia Sandu stated.

The President emphasized that Moldova’s place in the European Union is supported by all 27 member states, which provides predictability for investors: “When you invest in Moldova, you invest in a country whose future is anchored in Europe.”

This increased confidence is already visible in the data, she added: “European investments in Moldova have grown by almost 30 percent over the past four years.”

Among the sectors with strong investment potential, the President highlighted the agri‑food industry, information technologies, renewable energy, manufacturing, and regional logistics.

She also spoke about what the European path means for people at home: “For our citizens and for companies here at home, I want to reaffirm: the European path means investment, jobs, and a future here, at home.”

The conference continues throughout the day with a ceremony for signing investment partnerships and with thematic sessions dedicated to the capital market, energy transition, Moldova’s integration into European transport and logistics networks, industrial value chains, the agri‑food sector, and innovation.
