More than 30 events dedicated to the key directions of economic development in the Republic of Moldova will take place during the 11th edition of Moldova Business Week, held from 28 September to 2 October 2026. This year's programme is built around three strategic pillars: European economic integration, sectoral investment profiles and the export of services, bringing together forums, panels, roundtables, study visits, B2B meetings and networking sessions on the same platform. Over five days, business representatives, investors, public authorities, experts and international partners will explore investment opportunities, the prospects of high-potential sectors and new directions for integrating the Moldovan economy into European and international markets. The event's international dimension is also reflected in the participation of business delegations from four continents, as well as 16 international journalists from 10 countries, contributing to the exchange of experience, business dialogue and the event's international visibility.

MBW 2026 encourages business connections
An important component of Moldova Business Week 2026 is direct interaction among participants. B2B meetings, roundtables, company visits and networking sessions are designed to bring together investors, buyers, suppliers, exporters and potential business partners, and to turn participation in the event into concrete commercial discussions.
To facilitate these connections, MBW 2026 uses Cardneto – the event's dedicated networking platform. Participants can create profiles, indicate the types of contacts or opportunities they are looking for, find people relevant to their business objectives and schedule meetings before and during the event.
For international participants, this means networking can start before they arrive in Chișinău: they can identify potential partners, investors, suppliers or clients in advance and build a meeting schedule aligned with their business objectives.
The Cardneto app is available to participants, and the access code for Moldova Business Week is MBW2026.
Five days to explore Moldova's business environment
From the economy and investment to capital markets, exports, European integration and high-potential sectors, the Moldova Business Week 2026 agenda offers multiple entry points into the Republic of Moldova's business environment. Forums, sector-focused sessions, B2B meetings and study visits are designed to combine information with direct access to companies, projects, expertise and potential partners.
More than 30 events taking place over five days create a setting where participants can identify concrete opportunities for investment, exports and cooperation, and build relationships that can continue beyond the end of Moldova Business Week 2026.
Moldova Business Week 2026 takes place from 28 September to 2 October 2026 in Chișinău.
