UMAEF Joins Moldova Digital Summit 2026 to Highlight the Role of Investment in Innovation and Growth

UMAEF proudly supported and participated in Moldova Digital Summit 2026, the country’s flagship technology and innovation event, held on June 5–6 in Chișinău. Bringing together business leaders, entrepreneurs, investors, policymakers, and technology experts, the summit explored how digital transformation and innovation can strengthen Moldova’s competitiveness and accelerate its path toward European Union integration.

Representing UMAEF, Andrian Gutu, Investment Associate, participated in the panel discussion “Digital Moldova, European Future: Accelerating EU Integration through Innovation,” moderated by Eugeniu Osmochescu, Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization of the Republic of Moldova. The discussion focused on the role of entrepreneurship, innovation, and access to capital in driving sustainable economic growth and preparing Moldovan companies to compete successfully in European and global markets.

“For more than 30 years, UMAEF has invested in the people and companies shaping the future of Moldova and Ukraine,” said Andrian Gutu. “Today, through our two complementary investment programs—u.ventures, supporting early-stage technology startups, and u.capital, providing growth capital to established, profitable companies—we continue that mission by helping businesses scale, attract investment, and compete internationally.”

The panel underscored the importance of long-term investment in building a resilient innovation ecosystem and creating opportunities for entrepreneurs to transform ambitious ideas into globally competitive businesses.

“Conversations like this matter,” Andrian Gutu added. “They bring together entrepreneurs, investors, and ideas that move an economy forward. We were pleased to contribute to the discussion and reaffirm a simple message: Moldova is investable, and UMAEF is open for business.”

UMAEF extends its appreciation to the organizers, speakers, and participants for fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration. Through its continued support for entrepreneurs, innovative startups, and high-growth companies, UMAEF remains committed to advancing Moldova’s innovation ecosystem and long-term economic development.
