Moldova and the EU Launch Call for Investments in Six Key Sectors of the Economy
The Republic of Moldova is opening its doors wide to strategic investments. The European Commission, in partnership with the Government of the Republic of Moldova, today announced to the domestic and international business community new opportunities and tools to support investments in the local market.
Specifically, this is a call for expressions of interest in investments, addressed to all companies from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and the Republic of Moldova. Both foreign investors and local entrepreneurs, as well as members of the diaspora wishing to participate in the transformation of the national economy, are welcome. The announcement was made by Prime Minister Dorin Recean, European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos, and Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Doina Nistor.
“The European Union supports Moldova not only through reforms, but also through concrete investments. With this call, we are opening a door for European and Moldovan companies to work together to develop a modern economy integrated into the European single market,” emphasized Marta Kos, European Commissioner for Enlargement.
What Does the European Union Offer? Through this call, the European Union provides investors with a comprehensive support package:
- Financial guarantees from the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+) — to facilitate access to capital, attract private investment, and make possible projects that would otherwise be considered too risky;
- Loans and investment capital on favorable terms;
- Technical assistance for the preparation of projects with public impact.
The goal is clear: to make investments in Moldova attractive, secure, and competitive, in parallel with the implementation of the EU Growth Plan for Moldova.
The Six Key Areas Where Moldova Awaits Investors:
- Energy and green transition
- Agriculture and agri-food, including rural tourism
- Industry and advanced manufacturing
- IT, digital innovation, and applied research
- Infrastructure and connectivity
- Health and digital health
What’s Next?
The call is open until 4 of May, 2026. To be eligible, projects must have a minimum value of 10 million euros, and the investor must provide at least 15% of their own contribution to the total investment. Companies can express their interest through the European Commission’s platform, and proposals will be reviewed in the order they are received by evaluation committees that will meet quarterly, starting in December 2025.
