Strategic Partnerships for a Strong Tech Sector
MITP Awards continues to grow through strong collaborations and support from partners who believe in the potential of Moldova’s tech ecosystem. This year’s event was developed together with organizations that support investment in technology, education, entrepreneurship, and forward-looking solutions.
“We are glad to be the general partner of MITP Awards 2025 and the host of an event that celebrates innovation, entrepreneurship, and Moldova’s entire tech community. It is a true honor to support bold ideas and technological solutions shaping the future and placing our country on the innovation map. At maib, we consistently invest in initiatives that inspire, connect, and accelerate the growth of the tech ecosystem because we believe in the potential of this community and its essential role in Moldova’s economic development,” said Macar Stoianov, Vice President of maib.
“Innovation needs more than good ideas—it needs mechanisms that can turn those ideas into results. This is why, at Innovate Moldova, we support projects that already have direction and potential, helping them accelerate what they have started. MITP Awards complements this effort: it highlights the solutions that have grown and showcases the real impact across the ecosystem we continuously support,” noted Sergiu Rabii, Director of the Innovate Moldova Programme.
“In developing ecosystems, innovation does not emerge by accident. It must be cultivated, encouraged, and connected to real opportunities. MITP Awards does exactly that: it identifies valuable initiatives and provides the visibility needed for them to move to the next level. It is a clear sign that Moldova is strengthening its position in the regional digital economy,” stated Stella Jemna, Country Representative for Moldova at the Ukraine-Moldova American Enterprise Fund (UMAEF).
“MITP Awards is a clear demonstration that Moldova’s tech ecosystem is evolving rapidly, and the projects presented show increasing alignment with European trends in digitalization and innovation. We are proud to help connect these initiatives with regional networks and opportunities, so their solutions can go even further. Through our partnership with MITP, we aim to promote high-quality entrepreneurship and expand opportunities for startups in the Republic of Moldova. We congratulate all teams for their innovation and dedication,” said Charles Mathiaux, Deputy Director of the EU4Innovation East project.
Now in its second edition, MITP Awards has become a flagship competition for Moldova’s tech sector, organized by the Moldova Innovation Technology Park. The 2025 edition confirmed the high quality of submitted projects and the upward trajectory of Moldova’s IT industry, reinforcing the role of MITP Awards as a platform for recognizing and promoting successful digital solutions.
