Attracting investment and strengthening energy security will be the priority of the EU-Moldova Investment Conference scheduled for June 4 in Chisinau
This was discussed during meetings held in Brussels by Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Eugen Osmochescu and State Secretary Cristina Ceban with representatives of the European Commission to discuss Moldova’s economic priorities, the implementation of reforms, and the advancement of the European integration process. The agenda for the visit included discussions on trade relations between Moldova and the EU, the implementation of the Growth Plan for Moldova, the adoption of European legislation, energy security, economic sustainability, and preparations for the EU-Moldova Investment Conference, to take place in Chisinau on June 4. In particular, during a meeting with Gert Jan Koopman, Director-General of the Directorate-General for Enlargement and Eastern Neighborhood (DG ENEST), and Mathieu Bousquet, Director of DG ENEST, the priorities for the Investment Conference were identified, with a focus on attracting investment and strengthening energy security. At the same time, Moldova’s progress in implementing European legislation was analyzed, along with the prospects for the preliminary conclusion of negotiations on a number of chapters in which the country has achieved significant results, including in the areas of the information society, enterprise policy, and foreign policy. European officials highly commended the progress made in reducing bureaucracy in business services, digitizing public services, harmonizing investment legislation, reforming state property, and optimizing the operations of state-owned enterprises. They also welcomed the recognition of Moldova’s progress in the European Commission’s Enlargement Report and the start of technical negotiations on all six clusters for EU accession. As previously reported, the EU–Moldova Investment Conference will take place in Chisinau on June 4, bringing together Moldovan and European policymakers, investors, financial institutions, and business representatives to discuss investment opportunities supported by the EU Growth Plan for Moldova, worth up to €1.9 billion. It will bring together Moldovan authorities, European institutions, international financial organizations, as well as local and foreign investors and business leaders to discuss Moldova’s investment opportunities and deeper economic integration with the EU market. The Conference marks the first anniversary of the launch of the EU Growth Plan for Moldova—an investment package of up to €1.9 billion for 2025–2027. The Conference takes place in the context of the European Commission’s announcement of a call for expressions of interest for investments in Moldova, open to companies from the EU, the EEA, and Moldova. In the first phase, 45 project proposals were submitted in the fields of energy and renewable energy, agribusiness, digitalization, transport, and logistics. Building on this momentum, the EU–Moldova Investment Conference will link Moldova’s reform agenda with concrete investment opportunities, financial instruments, and business partnerships. Discussions will focus on sectors with high investment potential and regional integration, including energy and renewable energy, transport and logistics, agro-processing, industrial value chains, digital transformation, healthcare, and biotechnology. The conference program includes a signing ceremony for investment partnerships, a keynote address, a fireside chat with the Prime Minister on capital market development, panel discussions on energy, transportation, agribusiness, industrial value chains, and digital technologies, as well as B2B meetings and project presentations. // 02.06.2026 – InfoMarket.
