Helvetas supports the development of the consulting sector in Moldova: participation in the first International Conference of Business and Management Consultants

At the conference, Helvetas representatives stressed that the development of sound local consultancy is not a luxury, but a strategic necessity. The SME sector, public authorities and investors need professional local expertise, solutions adapted to the realities on the ground and reliable partners that contribute to increasing the competitiveness, resilience and connection of Moldovan markets to international ones.

Simone Di Stefano, Deputy Director of the Swiss Cooperation Office in Moldova, said: “Strong local advice is a strategic necessity for businesses to become more competitive, resilient and connected to international markets. We support this conference not as a one-off event, but as part of a broader vision: to develop an ecosystem of professional, ethical and well-trained consultants who contribute directly to the sustainable growth of the Moldovan economy.”

The conference agenda included sessions on digital transformation, accessing European funds, ESG strategies and developing export competitiveness, all of which are topics directly relevant to the private sector in Moldova.

Helvetas' participation in this event frames the organization's efforts to support sustainable economic development by investing in ecosystems of local expertise, institutional development and strategic collaboration.

The event was organized by ACAM – the Association of Business and Management Consultants in Moldova, a partner organization that plays an essential role in professionalizing the sector and promoting ethical standards in consulting.

By supporting this event, Helvetas reconfirms its commitment to a Moldovan economy based on innovation, inclusion and strong local expertise.
