The forum brought together more than 120 participants, including representatives of government agencies, investment agencies, and the business communities of Moldova and the Benelux countries, as well as over 30 Moldovan companies.
The focus was on infrastructure modernization and enhancing the competitiveness of the national economy. Logistics and transportation, agriculture and the agro-industrial complex, the IT sector, industrial production, renewable energy, and business services were identified as promising areas for exports and investments. These sectors play a crucial role in Moldova’s integration into European trade flows.
Special priority is given to the digitalization of services and the development of the data economy—an area that has received an additional boost thanks to the Republic of Moldova’s recent accession to the SEPA system. At the same time, the development of the agro-industrial and financial sectors remains a fundamental task that the authorities intend to address by leveraging cutting-edge technologies. These initiatives are supported by large-scale structural reforms aimed at reducing administrative burdens on business and creating a predictable business environment for European investors.
“The Republic of Moldova is strictly fulfilling its commitments, strengthening its reputation as a reliable partner for the European economy. We are accelerating structural reforms and actively utilizing the tools of the EU Growth Plan to achieve rapid integration into the Single European Market,” stated Eugen Osmocescu.
In the context of bilateral cooperation, positive results were noted: by the end of 2025, trade between Moldova and the Benelux countries reached approximately $280 million, and more than 300 companies with Dutch, Belgian, and Luxembourgish capital are successfully operating in the Moldovan market.
