The Republic of Moldova can compete for investment through speed, agility and trust, leveraging the advantages of an economy that is increasingly integrating into the European market and of a state capable of responding quickly to the needs of the business community. This was the message delivered by Prime Minister Vasile Tofan at the 11th edition of Moldova Business Week (MBW 2026), which began today in Chișinău, TRIBUNA reports.

Opening the event, the Prime Minister emphasized that political stability and the country’s European path provide the Republic of Moldova with an important window of opportunity to accelerate economic reforms. The Government’s priorities are reducing bureaucracy, speeding up procedures, ensuring a predictable tax framework, improving infrastructure, and building an administration that supports business development and the creation of new jobs.

Prime Minister Vasile Tofan urged investors to view the Republic of Moldova not only through the lens of the size of its domestic market, but also as a platform providing access to the European Union market and regional economic opportunities.

“We will never win through the size of our domestic market, but we can win through speed, agility and trust. We can quickly bring the right people to the table, change a bad regulation when necessary, and rapidly test solutions at the national level,” the Prime Minister said.

Sectors with growth prospects highlighted at the event included IT, industry, energy, infrastructure, logistics, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, as well as tourism. Another area of significant potential is the participation of companies in Ukraine’s reconstruction, including through the development of logistics infrastructure in Moldova. The Government aims to support the expansion of these sectors by removing administrative barriers and attracting capital and technology.

“I invite you to take Moldova seriously. Bring capital, bring technology, build factories and infrastructure, develop services, and use the Republic of Moldova as a base in the region, while the Government will be your advocate throughout this process,” the Prime Minister emphasized.

Moldova Business Week 2026 is taking place from September 28 to October 2, bringing together approximately 650 participants from around 50 countries and promoting the Republic of Moldova as a destination for investment, business development and expansion into regional and European markets. This year’s edition is built around three pillars: European economic integration, investment in sectors with growth potential, and the export of services.

Over the course of five days, more than 30 events will take place in Chișinău and across the country, including thematic forums, sector-specific roundtables, B2B meetings and study visits to different regions, with a focus on concrete investment and partnership opportunities. The event is organized by the Investment Agency in partnership with other public authorities and business associations. More information is available on the official platform mbw.md.
