It is often said that a true entrepreneur is someone who enjoys solving real problems, not just making money\u2014the latter comes as a result of doing meaningful work. For Denis Zacon, this philosophy became reality in July 2024, when he founded \u201cAI Skills.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It all started with a striking contrast he observed in training rooms and offices from Chi\u0219in\u0103u to Barcelona. His experience in Spain at Stripe\u2014one of the world\u2019s leading fintech companies\u2014and in European projects in Moldova gave him a clear understanding of the gap between organizations that effectively use available tools and those that are not even aware of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upon returning home, Denis decided, with the support of EU4Youth, to turn this knowledge gap into a mission: bringing future technologies into people\u2019s everyday work. This led to the creation of a company with paying clients, alongside a long list of individuals he trains free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, he operates as a resident of the Municipal Business Incubator in Chi\u0219in\u0103u, managing a growing portfolio of clients\u2014from private companies to public institutions and NGOs across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Denis follows a simple but effective model: start with an audit\u2014understand how an organization works and where it struggles. Then build a tailored training program. Common issues include poorly written prompts and time wasted on tasks that AI could solve in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the company serves paying clients, Denis has integrated a strong social component. When organizations with limited resources but real social impact reach out, he often provides training for free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Public sector employees, border police officers, students, librarians\u2014people with limited resources but crucial roles in society. Without understanding AI, they are more vulnerable to misinformation and manipulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
