Moldova Now a Top Regional Destination for Romanian and Ukrainian IT Investors
Chișinău, Nov 21: The Republic of Moldova is strengthening its position as a regional technology hub, with Romania and Ukraine now ranking as the top two foreign investors in the Moldova Innovation Technology Park (MITP) — surpassing the United States, which previously held the leading position.
According to MITP data for the third quarter of 2025, MITP hosts 53 registered companies from Romania, Ukraine 49, and the United States 39. This shift reflects a growing regional reorientation of investment interest towards Moldova’s rapidly developing digital economy.
“While the United States continues to generate the highest revenues among foreign-invested companies, the surge from Romania and Ukraine underscores Moldova’s increasing attractiveness as a destination for technology investment. Our competitive tax regime, advanced digital infrastructure, and geographical proximity make MITP a thriving regional hub for innovation.” Says Nadejda Hodus, Financial Manager of the Moldova Innovation Technology Park.
Financial data highlights this momentum. Romanian companies generated 285.5 million MDL in turnover during the first nine months of 2025 and are projected to reach 380 million MDL by year-end. American companies remain the top revenue performers with over 1.1 billion MDL expected this year, while Ukrainian firms have nearly tripled their 2023 results, approaching 190 million MDL.
Labor market dynamics show similar growth. Romanian and U.S. companies employ around 510 and 1,080 specialists, respectively, while Ukrainian firms have doubled their workforce, now exceeding 260 professionals.
“Moldova is increasingly positioning itself as a bridge between Central and Eastern Europe and the global digital market. We see a rising number of companies choosing Moldova for its access to the European market and its strong pool of IT talent.”, noted Marina Bzovîi, Administrator of the Moldova Innovation Technology Park.
As of the end of Q3 2025, 326 companies from 43 countries are operating under the MITP framework, with the total number of residents surpassing 2,600. This sustained expansion confirms the Park’s growing international appeal and the success of Moldova’s special tax and legal regime designed to foster innovation and attract global technology investors.
