Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Chișinău

Chișinău is the capital of Moldova and the centre of a fast-growing IT sector supported by one of Europe's most competitive tax regimes for technology companies. For founders in software, IT services and agrifood, it offers skilled engineers at low cost and a country moving towards EU membership.

Why Chișinău Matters for Capital Raising

Moldova IT Park, launched in 2018, offers eligible technology companies a single 7% tax covering corporate, income and social taxes, which has helped the sector grow quickly.

Moldova was granted EU candidate status in 2022, and many companies in Chișinău build software and provide engineering services for clients in Europe and North America.

The country also has a strong agricultural and wine sector, and Chișinău's multilingual workforce works easily with Romanian, Russian and English-speaking markets.

What Chișinău Investors Examine

For software businesses, product ownership and international customers are examined closely.

Investors value clear corporate structures, often with holding companies in the EU, and credible growth plans.

The Chișinău Startup and Investor Ecosystem

Chișinău's commercial life is concentrated in the Centru sector around Ștefan cel Mare Boulevard, with offices, technology companies and new residential developments spreading into Botanica, Buiucani and Rîșcani. The Technical University of Moldova, Moldova State University and the Academy of Economic Studies of Moldova supply most of the country's engineers, economists and computer science graduates, and the Tekwill innovation centre at the Technical University runs training, events and startup programmes.

Beyond software, the city is the base for the country's banks, food and beverage producers and wine houses, with famous underground wine cellars at Cricova and Mileștii Mici on its outskirts. A large Moldovan diaspora in Romania, Italy and elsewhere in Europe sends both capital and talent back home. For larger rounds, founders turn to Bucharest and Iași, regional funds across Central and Eastern Europe, and development finance institutions such as the EBRD.
