Moldova’s Tech Ecosystem Shines at TechVillage 2025

This year’s edition brought impressive results:

• 36 startups at pre-seed stage
• 26 investors (VCs, Family Offices, Angels)
• Over 180 one-to-one meetings
• And already 8 tentative deals on the horizon.

Participants came from across the region and beyond — including Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, Armenia, Estonia, Latvia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, USA, Georgia, Germany, Italy, North Macedonia, Poland, and Canada.

Unlike traditional tech conferences, TechVillage offered an environment built on trust and authentic dialogue. Founders and investors engaged in meaningful conversations, fireside talks on growth and expansion, and cultural activities that fostered long-term collaboration.

For the second consecutive year, Helvetas, through the OPTIM Project, has proudly supported TechVillage.

? Evghenia Snitco, Deputy Team Leader, OPTIM Project, underlined:
“Helvetas, through the OPTIM Project, is proud to support TechVillage as Moldova's tech ecosystem reaches new levels of excellence. We see tremendous potential in our local innovators, and events like this are essential for connecting Moldovan ingenuity with global opportunities. The future of innovation is collaborative, and Moldova is ready to be a key player in that future.”

Helvetas strongly believes that the growth of startups is not only vital for the private sector but also a cornerstone of Moldova’s economic development. By supporting an ecosystem where ideas can flourish, we help open doors for innovation, investment, and long-term prosperity.
