Start-up entrepreneurs from central regions of the country begin three-day training, delivered with EU support
Training sessions for start-up entrepreneurs began today in Orhei, bringing together aspiring and newly registered entrepreneurs from Orhei and neighbouring localities. The training is organized by the EU-funded project “Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration”, in partnership with the Ministry of Finance, the State Tax Service, the Customs Service, and the publication Monitorul Fiscal “FISC.md”. Over three days, about 100 participants will gain practical skills to start and manage a business, benefiting from the support of various experts.
In her opening remarks, the Director of the State Tax Service, Olga Golban, said:
“Supporting start-up entrepreneurs is essential to ensure proper compliance with tax obligations and to build a trusting relationship with the authorities. Through these trainings, we guide entrepreneurs to manage their taxes efficiently, increasingly using digital tools.”
The Deputy Director of the Customs Service, Ana Luca, emphasized that thanks to these sessions, entrepreneurs will be prepared to manage their business efficiently and safely through simplified procedures aligned with EU standards.
In his turn, Rosario De Blasio, Senior Expert on Customs and Tax Policy within the EU project, added: “Starting a business in a context of EU integration provides a real advantage: clear and simple rules that allow entrepreneurs to align with European standards from the outset, turning ideas into competitive products and preparing their businesses for future access to the European market.”
The three-day training introduces participants to key topics including business registration, taxes, social contributions, VAT, labor legislation, accounting, customs procedures, and public procurement. It also helps entrepreneurs build practical skills in communication, leadership, and negotiation, enabling them to work confidently with clients, partners, and employees.
The sessions are delivered by experts from the Ministry of Finance, the State Tax Service, the Customs Service, as well as practicing accountants and private-sector specialists. The interactive format allows participants to engage directly with trainers, ask questions, and receive practical guidance tailored to real business situations.
These training sessions form part of the European Union’s broader support to strengthen Moldova’s business environment, fostering entrepreneurship, and preparing local businesses to seize new opportunities within the European market.
Previously, similar information sessions took place in Ialoveni, Balti, Cahul and Chisinau between July and December 2025, bringing together about 450 participants. The information sessions will continue in other regions: Căușeni, Edineț, Ungheni and Comrat, between April and August 2026.
