What people say

Don't just take our word about it. Take theirs.  
Thank you to the wonderful organizers of Moldova Digital Summit for bringing me to Chisinau! It was my first time visiting your beautiful country and I was impressed by the energy of everyone I met.  Moldova has a big couple of years ahead of it: a presidential election, a referendum on EU integration, and a parliamentary election are looming, while the country remains in the informational crosshairs of a particular larger neighbor.

Sharing the stage with the Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalisation, and hearing about their efforts towards a 100% digital state was quite inspiring. My keynote on Responsible AI kicked off further conversation with different members of the government on how to ensure responsible and ethical implementation, adoption and use of AI technologies amongst their citizens.

Little might be known about Moldova’s economic and technological potential internationally but that does not mean the potential and the opportunities are not there. 

The Moldova Digital Summit is a must for those who would like to discover them. It offers a deep dive into the country’s IT sector, start-ups and digital transformation efforts and shows just how much more there is to uncover. I’ll see you there.”

Never underestimate Moldova! There are passionate people in Moldova who care about enabling the best outcomes for their country's Digital Transformation journey.

The political will is strong and the public service heavily backs their commitment to Digital goals. They don't want to emulate Estonia in regards to Digital Identity, they want to better us!

Moldovan wine lives up to the hype!
