We aim to develop new growth models, using coaching and individual mentoring to communicate with entrepreneurs, with a focus on companies operating in the country’s regions“, said: Iulia Costin, Director General of ODIMM.

“We want to develop small businesses, train regional entrepreneurs, create digital platforms to make it easier for businesses to go online. SMEs are the foundation of the country and need to be supported to achieve business performance. If other big players join the process, one day we will be able to make a small ‘Silicon Valley’ from Moldova, where business development will be the number one priority for the state. I believe that together with ODIMM we will be able to make it more effective’, stressed Dmitri Voloșin, founder of Simpals.

Administrator of Startup Moldova Foundation, Sergei Smigaliov stressed that partnership with ODSMEs is a priority in both the short and long term.
