Major investment opportunities are emerging in Moldova as the European Commission launches a Call for Expressions of Interest for private investment. The initiative invites businesses from the European Union, the European Economic Area, and Moldova to participate, with the aim of driving economic growth and supporting new investments in the country. This Call will be further discussed during a dedicated session at Moldova Business Week 2025.
The Call requires a minimum investment of EUR 10 million per project and will be the central focus of the “Investment funding in Moldova: Unlocking capital for growth” session on 19 September. During the session, European Commission experts will explain the objectives, outline how businesses can apply, and highlight the opportunities available. An interactive Q&A will allow participants to ask questions, share insights, and receive practical guidance on engaging with the initiative.
The event is expected to attract around 150 representatives from the business community and international financial institutions. To ensure wider access, the session will be livestreamed on the EU Delegation’s social media channels and on Pivesc.eu for those unable to attend in person.
This Call forms a key part of the EU’s Growth Plan for Moldova, a comprehensive support package designed to stimulate economic growth and promote the country’s convergence with the EU. With up to EUR 1.9 billion in financial assistance, the Growth Plan supports reforms to improve Moldova’s business environment and make it more attractive to investors. The Call aims to channel private investment into strategic sectors, including energy, agriculture, industry, digital/IT, transport, logistics, and healthcare. Eligible projects must include at least 15% equity from the project promoters.
To attract private investment and reduce risks, the EU and partner financial institutions are offering a support package that includes financial guarantees through the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+), loans and investment capital on favorable terms, technical assistance, and other measures.
The launch was officially announced on 4 September at the Digital Park in Chișinău, with the presence of European Commission representatives, Moldovan government leaders, and members of the business, financial, and diplomatic communities. As Moldova strengthens its access to the EU Single Market, the initiative presents unique opportunities for businesses seeking to participate in the country’s dynamic growth trajectory.
