The conference will bring together European and Moldovan decision-makers, investors, financial institutions, and business leaders to explore investment opportunities supported by the EU Growth Plan for Moldova, worth up to EUR 1.9 billion.

Chișinău will host the EU-Moldova Investment Conference on 4 June 2026 at MAIB Park, bringing together Moldovan authorities, European institutions, international financial institutions, local and foreign investors, and business leaders for a high-level discussion on Moldova’s investment opportunities and closer economic integration with the European Union market.

Jointly organised by the Government of the Republic of Moldova and the European Commission, with the support of Invest Moldova Agency and the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalisation of the Republic of Moldova, the conference marks one year since the launch of the EU Growth Plan for Moldova, an investment package of up to EUR 1.9 billion for 2025-2027.

The conference will take place in the context of the European Commission’s Call for Expressions of Interest for investments in the Republic of Moldova, open to companies from the EU, the EEA, and Moldova. The first stage of the Call has already generated strong interest, with 45 project proposals submitted in areas such as energy and renewables, agri-food, digitalisation, transport, and logistics.

Building on this momentum, the EU-Moldova Investment Conference will connect Moldova’s reform agenda with concrete investment opportunities, financing instruments, and business partnerships. Discussions will focus on sectors with strong potential for private investment and regional integration, including energy and renewable energy, transport and logistics, agri-processing, industrial value chains, digital transformation, health, and biotech.

The conference will be officially opened by Maia Sandu, President of the Republic of Moldova, Alexandru Munteanu, Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, and  Marta Kos, European Commissioner for Enlargement. Their participation will set the strategic context for a day focused on Moldova’s investment climate, reform progress, 

Investment opportunities backed by reform and EU support

The EU Growth Plan for Moldova aims to accelerate the country’s socio-economic development and support its economic convergence with the European Union. It is structured around three main priorities: increasing financial assistance through a dedicated Reform and Growth Facility, enhancing Moldova’s access to the EU Single Market, and supporting socio-economic and fundamental reforms.

The Reform and Growth Facility for Moldova provides up to EUR 1.9 billion for 2025-2027, with funding linked to the implementation of reforms agreed between the European Union and the Government of the Republic of Moldova. For investors and businesses, the Growth Plan creates a framework in which reform delivery, infrastructure development, sectoral investment, and closer access to the EU market can reinforce each other.

By bringing together public authorities, European institutions, financial institutions and private sector representatives, the conference will provide a platform to discuss investment projects, financing mechanisms and partnerships that can support Moldova’s competitiveness, economic resilience and long-term growth.

“Moldova is building an economy based on trust, predictability and access to finance. By strengthening our capital market, improving the business environment and connecting more closely with European value chains, we are creating new opportunities for investors, companies and citizens,” said Alexandru Munteanu, Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova.

“Through the EU Growth Plan, the Republic of Moldova is advancing reforms aimed at improving the business environment, accelerating economic integration with the EU and attracting investment. The Plan strengthens predictability for business, improves access to finance, and supports key sectors such as energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, digitalisation, and high value-added industries.

By linking reforms  with integration into European value chains, it helps translate policies into concrete investment opportunities.

Our goal is to turn this progress into viable projects that generate sustainable growth, jobs, and deeper integration into the European economy,” said Eugeniu Osmochescu, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalisation of the Republic of Moldova.

“Moldova is entering a new phase of economic development — one defined by deeper European integration, accelerated reforms, and strategic investment opportunities. Through the EU-Moldova Investment Conference, we aim to connect international investors and financial partners with Moldova’s most dynamic sectors and long-term growth potential. At Invest Moldova Agency, our role is to facilitate this connection by providing transparency, institutional support, and access to a rapidly modernising economy aligned with European standards” added Mihai Burunciuc, Deputy Director of the Invest Moldova Agency.

A programme focused on financing, sectors and partnerships

The programme will include a signing ceremony of investment partnerships, a keynote speech by Eugeniu Osmochescu, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalisation of the Republic of Moldova, on “Growth Plan for Moldova: Reform progress and investment opportunities for business,” and a fireside chat with Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu on “Building Moldova’s capital market.”

Panel discussions will address Moldova’s energy transformation, European transport and logistics connectivity, agri-processing and rural investment, industrial value chains, and digital, health, and biotech sectors. The format will also include sectoral pitching sessions, and B2B matchmaking, offering participants the opportunity to explore partnerships and investment projects aligned with the Growth Plan.

The conference is intended for investors, companies, financial institutions, policymakers, business associations, and high-level decision-makers interested in Moldova’s reform agenda, sectoral opportunities, and growing role in European value chains.

In Nisporeni, the first energy efficiency works have been completed under the project “Local Partnerships for Energy Efficiency in Social Services – Better Social Services”.

The building of the Regional Center for Social Integration and Assistance “Trust”, built almost 50 years ago, now provides better conditions for the center’s beneficiaries and the social canteen users. Thermal insulation and modernization works will reduce energy losses and make the spaces more comfortable for approximately 440 people annually. The change is visible in the building, but it is felt especially in daily services: warmer rooms, lower energy costs, and better conditions for people in need of support.

“Investments in energy efficiency mean not only saving resources but also caring for people. When we modernize social institutions, we directly contribute to the comfort and safety of beneficiaries. Such projects demonstrate that the energy transition has tangible effects in citizens’ daily lives,” said Dorin Junghietu, Minister of Energy.

“In this project, supported by the European Union, strong local partnerships have been created between civil society, public authorities, and donors, demonstrating that investments in energy efficiency are, прежде всего, investments in people and the quality of social services. We are proud to inaugurate today the first energy-efficient social service among the 35 local initiatives supported under the project,” said Daniela Leahu, Project Director at the Soros Foundation Moldova.

Better and more accessible social services contribute to an open society where people receive support in dignified conditions and communities can better respond to the needs of vulnerable groups.

“The European Union supports the efforts of the Republic of Moldova in promoting energy efficiency and sustainable development. This project demonstrates that, through collaboration between civil society, authorities, and development partners, we can significantly improve social services, an essential pillar for the protection of people in vulnerable situations. We extend our congratulations to the Soroptimist International Club Association Nisporeni for the efforts made and for the successful implementation of an initiative that contributes to improving the conditions offered to the beneficiaries of the Rehabilitation and Social Integration Center in Nisporeni,” said Irina Beșliu, Programme Manager at the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova.

The works were carried out under the initiative “With Confidence Towards Energy Efficiency in the City of Nisporeni,” implemented by Soroptimist International Nisporeni with financial support from the European Union in the Republic of Moldova, within the project “Local Partnerships for Energy Efficiency in Social Services,” co-financed and implemented by the Soros Foundation Moldova in partnership with Keystone Moldova and the Social Innovation Fund of Moldova NGO.

The total budget of the project is over 4.8 million euros, of which around 4.2 million euros are provided by the European Union, while 600,000 euros represent co-financing from the Soros Foundation Moldova.

Electrical equipment, agricultural products, furniture items, fats and oils, as well as wines and beverages were the main categories of goods exported by the Republic of Moldova to the European Union in 2025.

The total value of Moldovan exports to the European Union exceeded USD 2.55 billion. Electrical equipment accounted for USD 496.8 million, followed by agricultural products at USD 489.1 million, furniture at USD 127.9 million, fats and oils at USD 122.4 million, and wines and beverages at USD 100.4 million. Together, these categories represent almost half of exports to the European market.

In January–November 2025, the main export destinations of the Republic of Moldova in the EU were Romania (29.2%), Italy (9.2%), Czechia (8.3%), Germany (4.0%), and Bulgaria (3.5%).

The share of exports to the European Union amounted to 68.1% of total exports of the Republic of Moldova in 2025, increasing compared to previous years: 67.3% in 2024, 65.4% in 2023, and 58.6% in 2022.

The Ministry of Finance is hosting a four-day seminar dedicated to the transposition of the VAT Directive, bringing together 50 specialists from across the institution to strengthen their technical knowledge and support the alignment of national legislation with European Union standards. The capacity building activity is organized with the support of the EU- and Denmark-funded project ‘Moldova is Europe – Support for EU Integration’.

The topic is high on the agenda of the Ministry of Finance, given its importance for Moldovan business. Clarity on the path towards alignment with EU acquis would support company growth and economic integration making investment decisions and cross-border commerce easier.

The seminar was officially opened by Deputy Secretary General Lidia Ababii, who emphasized the importance of advancing the harmonization of the national fiscal framework with the EU acquis and enhancing the institutional capacities of public administration specialists involved in tax policy development and implementation.

During her opening remarks, Ms Ababii highlighted that the effective transposition of the VAT Directive represents an essential step in the modernization of the tax system and in supporting the country’s European integration agenda.

The training sessions are delivered by the project senior expert Adriana Nutu, who provides participants with in-depth guidance on the principles, mechanisms, and practical aspects related to the implementation of the VAT Directive. The seminar covers key topics including VAT structure and scope, taxable transactions, exemptions, compliance mechanisms, and best practices applied within the European Union.

Over the course of four days, participants will engage in interactive discussions, case studies, and practical exercises meant to strengthen their understanding of the legislative and administrative requirements necessary for a smooth and efficient transposition and application of the Directive.

The seminar is part of the project’s objective to consolidate the capacities of line ministries necessary for the successful implementation of reforms.

On 4 May, the European Parliament officially launched the call for submissions for entries to the sixth edition of the Daphne Caruana Galizia Prize for Journalism.

“Nine years since Daphne Caruana Galizia was brutally murdered, journalists around the world continue to be intimidated, threatened, and assassinated. The European Parliament stands by them in their fight for justice,” European Parliament President Roberta Metsola said.

The Prize is awarded each year around 16 October, the day of the journalist’s assassination.

The Prize rewards on a yearly basis outstanding journalism that promotes or defends the core principles and values of the European Union such as human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, rule of law, and human rights.

The Prize is open to professional journalists and teams of professional journalists of any nationality, who can submit in-depth pieces that have been published or broadcast by media based in one of the 27 EU countries. 

The €20,000 annual prize will be awarded in October 2026 at the European Parliament in Strasbourg.

The deadline for applications is 31 July.

The Prizes in 2024 and 2025 were awarded to an investigation on missing unaccompanied child migrants (Lost in Europe) and a joint investigation on the Russian shadow fleet, coordinated by Follow the Money.

On May 9, the Great National Assembly Square came alive with the energy, smiles, and enthusiasm of everyone who chose to celebrate Europe Day with us. For one special day, PMAN became more than just a square — it turned into a vibrant hub of friendship, shared values, and European spirit.

Looking back on last weekend, we’re filled with joy seeing how many curious visitors stopped by the EU Delegation and Europe Café tent.

Colourful stamps in the European Passport

We saw dozens of passports carefully and proudly completed. Every stamp collected was more than just a mark — it represented a small discovery along the journey.

You amazed us with your energy at the Energizer Station, where our bikes kept the lights shining thanks to your enthusiasm for a healthy and active lifestyle.

Together, we travelled virtually across the map of Europe and loved seeing your curiosity about the stories, cultures, and traditions of EU member states.

In the kids’ area, we were reminded that teamwork and shared values are the foundation of a strong community — and we shared plenty of laughter along the way!

At the “European Vote” station, hosted by the Young European Ambassadors, you gave us a true lesson in participatory democracy. The colourful voting columns clearly showed the priorities you see for our shared future.

The “Sounds of Europe” and the “Values Wheel” reminded us that, despite our differences, we all speak the same language of freedom, solidarity, and democracy.

A coffee and a kind conversation

Some of the warmest moments happened at the end of the journey. It was a real pleasure to sit down with you over a cup of coffee or tea. The drinks were simply an excuse for meaningful conversations, for hearing your ideas, and for seeing how confidently people in Moldova look toward the European future.

Thank you to our team and friends

None of this would have been possible without our energetic volunteers from the Euro Clubs and EU Information Centres, the inspiring Young European Ambassadors (YEAs), and the support of our partners from EUPM and the European Parliament.

Together, we showed once again that Europe is, above all, about people coming together, collaborating, and supporting one another. Together, we truly are a team.

Europe Day 2026 may be over, but our journey continues every day — through every project, every initiative, and every step we take toward the wider European family.

Thank you for being the main character in our European journey!

Two streets in the village of Coșnița, Dubăsari district, are becoming models of local infrastructure. With support from the EU Confidence Building Measures Programme, implemented by UNDP, sidewalks covering a total area of over 2,160 m² have been modernized and upgraded. The infrastructure project is the result of a joint financial effort, with the European Union allocating over US$108,000, while the local community provided co-financing of $17,500.

Now, the approximately 6,000 residents, as well as visitors of Coșnița village, enjoy not only the comfort but also the safety provided by the local infrastructure.

“I live on Prieteniei Street, and we had problems because when the children went to school, they couldn’t walk on the sidewalk; they had to walk in the middle of the road. But that was a problem because cars drive fast. Now we have a sidewalk, and it’s nice, it’s for people,” says with joy Elena, a resident of the Coșnița village.

Since the spring of 2024, the village of Coșnița, along with 11 other communities on both banks of the Nistru, has been involved in a participatory process to define development priorities. In their case, the priority was the modernization of the two streets. It was also decided to raise funds, including from the diaspora, to develop the green space on “Prieteniei” Street in the village of Coșnița.

With the money collected by the local community and a contribution from the town hall, 126 trees of three varieties were purchased: Canadian redbud, maple, and catalpa.

“We are absolutely delighted to have had the opportunity to contribute and be part of an initiative that leaves something good and valuable for the people and future generations of the Cosnița community. For our family, our involvement in this campaign stemmed from our love and respect for the place we call home, and the results fill us with pride and gratitude. We thank everyone involved and those who contributed, including financially, to make this beautiful project a reality for our community,” says Inga Cotelea, a native of the village of Cosnița who now lives in the U.S.

One of the six infrastructure projects on both banks of the Nistru River selected to receive support from the EU and UNDP was implemented in Coșnița.

Thus, the European Union and UNDP continue to support improved cooperation between communities on both banks of the Nistru River through joint projects involving local partners, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders.
