A new series of trainings for startup entrepreneurs was launched on 9 December 2025 in Ialoveni, bringing together around 100 participants from the central regions of Moldova. Organized by the EU-funded project ”Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration”, the Ministry of Finance, the Customs Service, the State Tax Service and the periodical publication ”Monitorul fiscal Fisc.md, the trainings will focus on the essentials of launching and running a business.

Building on the success of the three training sessions held between July and September 2025 which brought together over 350 entrepreneurs, the new series will be carried out in six regions, bringing together participants from 21 localities across Moldova.  After the first session in Ialoveni, the next five will take place in Căușeni, Orhei, Edineț, Ungheni, and Comrat between February and August 2026. Each training is expected to gather aspiring and newly registered entrepreneurs eager to strengthen their business knowledge and skills.

In her opening remarks, Director of the State Tax Service, Olga Golban, stressed: “These trainings were launched to ensure that entrepreneurs beyond Chişinău have access to current information and can seize new opportunities. The course aims to provide with first-hand information and introduce them to accounting, tax, and customs aspects, helping better understand the opportunities for growing a business and in this way strengthen the economy.”

In his turn, Senior Non-Key Expert on Customs and Tax Policy of the ‚Moldova is Europe’ project, Rosario de Blasio, stated: ‚Early and consistent compliance with legislation is not merely a formal requirement, it is a strategic investment in a company’s stability and growth. Businesses that align with legal and procedural standards from the outset are better positioned to access new markets, build trust with partners and authorities. Complying with legislation from the very beginning means preparing your enterprise to thrive in the future European market.’

Entrepreneurs will receive practical guidance provided by experts from the Ministry of Finance, Customs Service, State Tax Service, as well as practicing accountants. During the three-day training, startup entrepreneurs will learn how to correctly register and manage their business, meet tax, customs, and legal requirements, use electronic services, and maintain proper financial and accounting records. They will also develop practical skills in communication, negotiation, and team leadership to confidently work with partners, clients, and employees.

These trainings form part of the EU’s broader support for strengthening Moldova’s economic development, improving the business environment, and preparing local entrepreneurs for new opportunities within the European market.
