The turnover of Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) exceeded the symbolic figure of $1 billion in 2025
According to preliminary data for 2025, the combined turnover of MITP resident companies amounted to 18.9 billion lei, equivalent to $1 billion: this figure is 24.3% higher than in 2024 and almost 10 times higher than in 2018, the year the park was founded. These figures were presented by the Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization, Eugen Osmochescu, the State Secretary for Digitalization and Innovation, Michelle Iliev, and the MITP Administrator, Marina Bzovîi, highlighting the achievements of the IT sector as a priority for Moldova and the MTIP as a developing and competitive regional technology center. The event highlighted the role of the 7% flat tax rate, which was recently extended until 2037, providing predictability and stability for investors. Thanks to this mechanism, the number of resident companies in the park has increased from approximately 300 at the time of its launch in 2018 to 2,725 active companies by the end of 2025. Of these, 571 new companies joined the ecosystem in the last year alone. At the end of 2025, 2,725 resident companies were registered with MITP, and compared to the previous year, the park's ecosystem grew by 27%. In 2025, MITP resident companies employed 25,809 specialists—this critical mass of professionals reinforces the park's role as one of the largest generators of highly skilled jobs in Moldova. The average salary remains at around 50,000 lei per month (equivalent to €2,500/$2,700), which is the highest in the Moldovan labor market and one of the most competitive in the region. The top five areas with the highest sales volumes in 2025 were customer-oriented software, data processing, call centers and dispatch services for export, IT consulting, and software development services, confirming MITP's focus on high value-added segments and integration into global chains. Beyond the numbers, the ministry's strategy for 2026 focuses on a qualitative leap through the introduction of new technologies, alignment with single European market standards, and the promotion of innovation. In 2025, MITP resident companies represented 44 countries, confirming the international nature of the park and Moldova's attractiveness as a destination for IT investment. At the same time, the investor structure remains stable and predictable, with a strong presence of companies from Romania (75), Ukraine (55), the United States (38), Germany (32), and the United Kingdom (21) — the same configuration as in 2024. Exports are the backbone of the MITP ecosystem, reaching 16.37 billion lei in 2025, which is about 88.5% of total sales. This indicator shows that Moldovan IT specialists are developing digital products and services for global clients, including well-known companies and international leaders in various industries. By 2026, the total revenue of MITP resident companies is estimated at approximately 19.9 billion lei, which corresponds to a projected growth of about 5-6% compared to 2025. The data is preliminary and based on estimates provided by resident companies, confirming the continued positive and sustainable dynamics of the MITP ecosystem. In addition to quantitative growth, the press conference noted a strategic paradigm shift for the coming period: a transition from an outsourcing model to the development of proprietary products and innovations. In this regard, an Innovation Fund will be launched in 2026 and the FAIMA project, worth €5 million, will be implemented, financed by the European Commission and dedicated to the integration of artificial intelligence into business processes. “To accelerate this growth, this year we are turning Moldova into a living laboratory of innovation: we are integrating artificial intelligence as a driver of productivity for our companies and implementing DSA (Digital Services Act) standards to ensure a safe and transparent digital space. We are no longer limited to fiscal competitiveness. We will encourage the creation of innovative products by forming a mature technological ecosystem compatible with the single European market,” said State Secretary Michelle Iliev. MTIP is Moldova's first virtual IT park, created to stimulate the development of the software and digital services industry. Park residents benefit from a unique tax model, paying a single tax of 7% of turnover, which replaces a number of standard taxes and fees. This regime is designed to simplify business operations, attract foreign investment, and support local startups, and is guaranteed by law until 2037. // 10.02.2026 – InfoMarket.
