Moldova HiTech Park to be set up in Moldova
In particular, the draft law on the creation and special operating regime of this park was adopted by parliament in its second reading. Moldova HiTech Park will be designed as a multi-purpose hub with the status of an industrial park, combining research and development, start-up incubation, private investment, technology transfer, university education, and continuing education. The Park will represent collaboration between science, the private sector, and public administration and will function as an economic zone and an integrated innovation ecosystem. Moldova HiTech Park will specialize in the fields of information and communication technologies, business services and business process outsourcing, creative and digital industries, financial services, advanced engineering, microelectronics and semiconductors, medical, pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, green and clean technologies, research and development, technology transfer, as well as high and advanced technologies in areas such as artificial intelligence, data science and big data analysis, robotics, high-performance computing (HPC), the Internet of Things (IoT), augmented/virtual reality, cybersecurity, bioengineering, and other new cutting-edge areas that may emerge during the Park's operation. Moldova HiTech Park is being created to implement a 30-year project of national importance and will be located in the administrative territory of Stauceni (Chisinau municipality), on a 50-hectare plot of land owned by the state and managed by the Public Property Agency. The Park will be organized as a micro-city with multiple functions, including office buildings, laboratories, research facilities, university campuses, residential areas, conference centers, and infrastructure for testing and prototyping. Moldova HiTech Park is expected to provide more than 21 thousand jobs in technology fields and attract investments estimated at over €200 million. The author of this legislative initiative, PAS MP Victor Spinu, says that the Park is meant to develop an economic and technological platform of national importance, designed to totally change how Moldova does business in areas based on research, innovation, and advanced technologies. According to the document, the project will be implemented in stages, with an initial development period of about five years. To finance the initial costs of creating the infrastructure and operating the park management entity, financial resources will be allocated from Moldova's Economic Growth Plan, developed jointly with the European Union, which provides for up to €200 million for the development of industrial and innovation zones for 2024-2027. // 10.07.2025 – InfoMarket.
