With the support of the European Union, the first entrepreneurship support and development center opened its doors in Tiraspol. It will provide young entrepreneurs with access to information, advice and training. For the opening of the Business HUB in Tiraspol, the European Union granted 200,000 euros through the “Confidence Promotion Measures” program, implemented by UNDP Moldova.
“We have been waiting a long time for the opening of this center. Here we have a wonderful infrastructure for the development of entrepreneurs, for supporting them by offering consultancy and other services to stimulate the potential”, says Zinaida Emilianova, manager of the Business HUB.
Of the 16 places intended for residents, 12 are already rented and thus young entrepreneurs can work on realizing their own business ideas.
“We believe that business ideas, startups and innovative entrepreneurial spirit are the key factors that will develop and expand at the Business HUB opened in Tiraspol. The Business HUB will help the creative and technology community to progress and thrive. Coworking spaces will facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, business support organizations, academia and consumers. Certainly, the good functioning of the Center will strengthen both the collaboration and the trust of the interested parties on both banks of the Dniester”, said Jānis Mažeiks, the Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova.
