Skills

Building a future-ready workforce for Moldova's digital economy. Going beyond technical skills to include change management, adaptability, and a culture of lifelong learning within the public and private sectors.

Infrastructure

Modern, secure, and resilient infrastructure is the foundation for a truly digital Moldova. Moldova Digital Summit 2024  will explore connectivity for all (reducing the urban-rural divide), data governance, enabling conditions for innovation, and cybersecurity as a national priority.
