Press releases

This year’s edition brings together more than 100 entrepreneurs from different sectors and international experts, providing a platform for interaction and collaboration between local and international companies, investors and business service providers.

The Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister for Economic Development and Digitalisation Dumitru Alaiba stressed in his message the strong commitment of the Government to reduce the bureaucratic burden on small and medium-sized enterprises. The Minister highlighted continued efforts to simplify administrative procedures, noting that these measures are essential to stimulate economic growth and support entrepreneurs in developing their businesses in a competitive and favourable environment.

“The government and the ministry they lead are working to make life easier for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs. Through our reforms and packages of debureaucratisation, we seek to remove as much as possible from the bureaucratic burden on people’s peers. We are and will continue to be with our entrepreneurs.”

The Deputy Head of the European Union Delegation Cooperation Section to the Republic of Moldova, Adam Grodzicki, stressed the importance of the partnership with the EU for the modernisation of the Moldovan economy:

“Supporting entrepreneurship and sustainable development of SMEs is our shared goal and is at the heart of the EU’s integrated approach to private sector development in Moldova. Through the combined use of different complementary instruments such as grants, technical assistance, guarantees, concessional loans and advisory services, we aim to maximise the impact of EU support on the growth and development of SMEs for a stronger Moldovan economy. We help SMEs adapt to the new realities and conditions of the EU market so that they can export their goods and compete successfully, respecting EU standards and rules”.

The Director of the Organisation for the Development of Entrepreneurship, Vadim Codreanu, stressed the importance of supporting SMEs for the local economy:

“In just 4 days at Antreprenor Expo 2024 we have the opportunity to value the talent and innovation of our entrepreneurs. We have set up an exposure platform, but also access to important resources for growth and internationalisation. Supporting the development of SMEs is a priority and through such initiatives we want to strengthen a stronger and more resilient economy.”

Zinaida Popa, Director of the International Exhibitions Centre Moldexpo, stressed the key role of this event in promoting Moldovan entrepreneurs:

“We are proud to host an event of such a scale that supports the growth of local affairs and the creation of new partnerships. Antreprenor Expo 2024 is a meeting point for innovators and investors, thus contributing to the development of the private sector in the Republic of Moldova.”

In the context, the event continues with Industrial Suppliers and Engineering Forum, where participants address topical topics such as the green and digital transition, the implementation of international standards and the expansion of exports of industrial products.
