Moldova and Japan plan to cooperate in the field of space technology and satellite communications
In particular, the Moldovan Investment Agency hosted a business mission from the Japanese companies SKY Perfect JSAT Corporation (JSAT), I-QPS, and KPMG Japan, aimed at identifying opportunities for cooperation in the field of space technology and satellite communications. The visit helped identify specific areas of application for space technologies in Moldova, facilitated by the Investment Agency with the support of the Moldovan Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The business mission included meetings with representatives of government agencies, the scientific community, and the local technology ecosystem. Discussions focused on the use of Earth remote sensing technologies for national mapping, infrastructure monitoring, and the development of joint research and innovation projects. The Japanese delegation explored opportunities for cooperation with the Moldova Innovation Technology Park, the Technical University of Moldova, and local startups, highlighting Moldova’s potential to become a regional hub for advanced technologies by combining international expertise with local capabilities in IT, research, and technical education. Currently, the Moldova Innovation Technology Park is home to approximately 380 companies with foreign capital, including those from Japan, and more than 700 foreign specialists engaged in relevant activities, which is over 30% more than the previous year. The Park’s ecosystem, with proven expertise in software development, data processing, and cybersecurity, represents a potentially significant partner for the use of satellite data and Earth remote sensing applications in Moldova. Through this mission, the Investment Agency is strengthening its role as a bridge between international companies, government agencies, and the local innovation ecosystem, facilitating the identification of specific cooperation projects and investments in promising technology sectors. // 21.05.2026 — InfoMarket
