Event Language:
English/Romanian
From Investment Promotion to Investor Trust
What does an investor need to launch or expand a business in Moldova?

As part of Moldova Business Week, FIA brings together executives of companies already operating in Moldova and investors considering the market. Official presentations set out the country's opportunities; this closed-door conversation puts them in the context of specific business solutions. Seven to eight FIA companies each open with one practical challenge they faced and how they solved it, and the discussion then follows the questions potential investors bring to the table.

Practical experience of FIA companies

Each company selects one aspect that matters to a new investor and outlines it in three to four minutes with a single illustrative slide, moving from the challenge or opportunity, to the practical experience and solution, to the key takeaway for the investor.

Preliminary topics:

Launching and expanding operations in Moldova;
Human capital and skills development;
Local suppliers, procurement and supply chains;
Access to the domestic market, distribution and exports;
Infrastructure, energy supply and business continuity;
Digitalisation and technological solutions;
Financing and business risk management;
Resource efficiency, ESG and sustainable development.

Regulatory matters may be included where they help explain a practical challenge, the solution a company adopted, or an emerging market opportunity. The final set of inputs will be defined based on feedback from FIA companies and the profiles of potential investors.

Discussion focus

The practical experience of FIA companies in the context of the FIA White Book priorities: trust and predictability of the investment environment; conditions for launching and developing a business; human capital and infrastructure; investment opportunities and market growth potential.

Moldovan Tourism as Export: From Destination to Economic Value

Event Language:
Romanian, with English interpretation
Within the framework of “Exporting Moldova Through Tourism: From Destination to Economic Value”, ANTRIM is launching a dedicated component targeting the Swiss market, designed to transform an initial institutional contact into a concrete commercial partnership. The initiative brings together tour operators from the Republic of Moldova and an exclusive delegation of tour operators, industry associations, and media representatives from Switzerland, establishing a structured framework for matchmaking, pitches, and thematic discussions on investment and collaboration opportunities.

The choice of Switzerland is intentional: it is a market with a genuine appetite for quality, experiential, and sustainable tourism—segments where Moldova’s tourism offering (wine, rural, and cultural) can compete authentically.

The Swiss component of the event will feature dedicated B2B sessions, a FAM tour for the delegation, and media presence aimed at delivering Moldova's story directly to the Swiss public.

Moldova as a Partner in Ukraine's Recovery and Reconstruction

Organised by:
Location:
MAIB PARK, Chisinau
Schedule:
10:00 - 12:00
Event Language:
English
Ukraine's recovery is expected to become one of the largest reconstruction and investment efforts in Europe over the coming decade. Yet one of the key questions for international investors remains: what role can neighboring countries play in creating value throughout this process?

Earlier this year, AmCham Moldova, in partnership with Invest Moldova Agency, supported by Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund (UMAEF) and United Nations Population Fund UNFPA, launched the study "Moldova as a Partner in Ukraine's Recovery" by Kyiv School of Economics.

The study identifies more than USD 590 million in investment opportunities across Ukraine's neighboring regions and demonstrates how Moldova can position itself as a regional platform for investment, manufacturing, logistics and business services supporting Ukraine's recovery.

Following its successful launch, AmCham Moldova will bring the study to an international audience as part of Moldova Business Week 2026, offering foreign investors, business delegations and development partners valuable insights into Moldova's competitive advantages and the practical opportunities arising from Ukraine's recovery.

Beyond presenting the study's key findings across sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, infrastructure, energy, agriculture, healthcare and professional services, the event will bring together its authors and business leaders to discuss how companies can translate these opportunities into concrete partnerships, investments and participation in regional reconstruction value chains. Through real business perspectives and practical examples, the discussion will explore how Moldova can strengthen its role as a trusted partner in one of Europe's most significant economic transformation initiatives.
