Ion ȘTEFANOVICI, CAPDR: “Connectivity. Capital. Growth. Moldova is starting to move.”

100 economic opportunities for the development of the Moldova Region on the A7 Highway route
Economic development needs real roads, not just plans on paper.
Infrastructure is not just concrete and asphalt – it is a living artery for the economy, for communities, for the future.
At FERM 2025, within Panel 4, we say clearly: Without infrastructure, any regional strategy is an incomplete promise
The A7 Motorway is not just a road route, it is a backbone for the development of the Moldova Region. It is the line through which capital flows, people move, and opportunities multiply.
Transylvania and Banat have attracted investments and generated jobs thanks to strategically planned infrastructure.
It is time for Moldova to also harness this potential.
Panel 4 – The Role of Infrastructure in Economic Development will highlight:
- examples of good practice in road, rail, and air infrastructure
- challenges encountered in implementing major projects
- how we transform A7 into a corridor for exports, tourism, and modern mobility
- partnerships between authorities, investors, and constructors
- digital solutions for smart and sustainable infrastructure
Panel 4 at FERM 2025 is dedicated to those who understand that development does not wait, but is built with planning, vision, and commitment.
