The EU–Moldova Investment Conference held in Chisinau has announced a new wave of investment initiatives worth up to €641 million, aimed at strengthening Moldova’s economic resilience and advancing its integration into European markets.
The package was presented by EU Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos together with international financial institutions, private investors, and government representatives. The planned investments target key sectors including energy efficiency, digital infrastructure, education, sustainable agriculture, and transport connectivity.
Major boost through international financing
Up to €433 million will be mobilised through cooperation with leading international financial institutions under the EU’s Growth Plan for Moldova. The funding combines EU grants, guarantees, and loans designed to support long-term development priorities.
Key partners include the European Investment Bank, which will finance the modernisation of school infrastructure; the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, supporting digital infrastructure and private sector competitiveness; as well as the Agence Française de Développement, focused on improving energy efficiency in public and residential buildings.
Additional support will be provided by the European Fund for Southeast Europe and the Green for Growth Fund, which aim to expand access to finance for households and businesses.
Private sector commitments of €208 million
Alongside public funding, eight private investment projects totaling up to €208 million were selected under a European call for proposals. The initiatives were presented in the presence of Moldovan President Maia Sandu and Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu.
The projects include investments in high-tech innovation, data infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, logistics, water systems, and agricultural exports. Among them are plans for an AI-ready data centre, expansion of biopharmaceutical research and training, improved transport links with the European Union and Ukraine, and the development of modern water infrastructure for agriculture and communities.
Strategic impact and next steps
Officials say the investment package is designed not only to stimulate economic growth but also to integrate Moldova more deeply into European value chains and enhance its long-term competitiveness.
The announcements come ahead of the second EU–Moldova Summit scheduled for 22 June, which is expected to further strengthen political and economic cooperation.
The initiatives form part of the EU’s broader €1.9 billion Growth Plan for Moldova for 2025–2027, the largest financial support package ever offered by the European Union to the country.
