INVESTMENT PANEL – Moldova Regional Economic Forum, Vatra Dornei, 2024.

100 de oportunități economice pentru dezvoltarea Regiunii Moldova pe traseul Autostrăzii A7

The central objective of the Forum is to ensure the necessary conditions for “Planning and Cooperation towards the strategic objective: Moldova 2030.”

FERM creates the necessary conditions for collaboration towards the strategic development of the Extended Region of MOLDOVA, based on the preparation by 2030 of a Common Collaboration Platform built between the institutional and private sectors on both sides of the Prut River, with a unified, proportional, and equal involvement of public administration, the private sector, institutional environments in education and healthcare, as well as civil society across Moldova from the Vatra Dornei mountains to the Soroca Fortress on the Nistru River, also taking into account our brothers in Ukraine,” said Ion ȘTEFANOVICI, President of the Center for Analysis and Regional Development Planning (C.A.P.D.R.), the event organizer.
