Discover Moldova
Nestled between Romania and Ukraine, Moldova is a nation in transition—modernizing rapidly while preserving its deep European roots. With strong ties to the European Union and a history of resilience and adaptability, Moldova is positioning itself as a stable, forward-looking economy at the crossroads of European trade corridors. Its location places manufacturers within easy reach of the EU single market, the Balkans, and the Black Sea export route.
Home to roughly 2.4 million people, Moldova offers a multilingual and educated workforce. Romanian is the official language, while Russian and Gagauz are also widely spoken, and English is taught in schools, with a large portion of the population able to converse confidently in English—a growing advantage for international investors.
Discover Moldova’s Industrial and Investment Advantage
From fertile farmland to advanced infrastructure and investor-friendly policies, Moldova offers a balanced mix of natural resources, strategic location, and economic incentives — positioning it as a rising hub for European manufacturing and trade.
Thriving Agricultural & Industrial Base
Its fertile farmland produces apples, grapes, plums, grains, and sunflowers that support a robust food-processing and wine-export sector. Infrastructure investments are improving Chișinău International Airport’s connectivity to dozens of European destinations and upgrading rail links with Romania and Ukraine, accelerating both freight and passenger traffic. Abundant limestone, gypsum, and clays underpin local production of cement and other building materials, reducing input costs for manufacturers.
Growing Foreign Investment Hub
Major foreign investors already operating in Moldova include DRÄXLMAIER, Sumitomo/SE Bordnetze, and Gebauer & Griller, joined recently by a €20 million electric-vehicle-charging-equipment plant in Strășeni. These investments reflect Moldova’s growing role in European supply-chain diversification and nearshoring, particularly as manufacturers look for stable, EU-aligned jurisdictions with competitive cost structures.
Incentive-Rich Business Environment
Moldova offers one of Europe’s most advantageous industrial environments, with up to 75% investment support available through subsidies and tax exemptions, along with simplified business registration and a transparent legal framework. With low operating costs, duty-free EU access, and EU-accession momentum, Moldova stands at the forefront of Europe’s next manufacturing frontier—an ideal base for companies seeking an efficient, incentive-rich platform for production and export.
