From the official Startup Pavilion to a dynamic country booth, Moldova’s presence spotlighted the infrastructure, talent, and support driving its innovation. Founders, enablers, and strategic partners engaged in real-time dialogue, presented solutions, and forged valuable networks to advance cross-border collaboration and investment. The Country Stand served as a dynamic hub for exchange, while Moldovan startups demonstrated the creativity, resilience, and ambition fueling their growth.
This coordinated effort reflected Moldova’s ambition to integrate more deeply into the European startup landscape — with EU4Innovation East providing strategic support for the ecosystem development.
A standout moment was the panel discussion “Is Moldova’s Startup Ecosystem Picking Up?” on the Startup Stage. With startup funding doubling in 2024, the panel explored whether this marked sustained momentum or a temporary surge. Speakers unpacked ecosystem fundamentals, emerging success stories, and infrastructure investments shaping Moldova’s future as a regional tech hub.
Panel Speakers:
- Xenia Muntean, Co-founder & CEO, Planable
- Alexandru Luncashu, Co-Founder & COO, Brizy
- Marina Bzovîi, Director, Moldova Innovation Technology Park
- Olga Melniciuc, CEO, Startup Moldova
Throughout the event, Moldova made a powerful impression — with 15 ambitious startups fueling the momentum:
Showcased at the Country Booth: Fagura, OneSyncs, BravinAI, selftalk.space, Brizy, Argus AI, Eventino, Cardneto
Exploring, connecting, and attending: GemsAround.com, Index MIND, ISHIP, AI Mobile, Magic Wish, Sumboard
BravinAI’s Top 5 finish among 20 pitching startups was a breakthrough that placed Moldova’s deep tech talent firmly in the spotlight.
Together with Startup Moldova, EU4Innovation East proudly supported this showcase of creativity, resilience, and cross-border ambition. Moldova’s presence at How to Web 2025 marked a movement toward deeper regional integration, stronger partnerships, and a future where Moldova is recognized as a tech hub in Eastern Europe.
