EDIH “DIH of Moldova”, the first European Digital Innovation Hub in the Republic of Moldova, continues to strengthen its position within the European digital innovation ecosystem through the signing of three Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with digital innovation hubs from Ukraine, Hungary and Bulgaria.

The agreements were signed during two major international events for the European Digital Innovation Hub community. The Memorandum with WIN-WIN EDIH from Ukraine was signed during Moldova Digital Summit 2026, while the agreements with AI EDIH Hungary and InnovationAmp EDIH from Bulgaria were concluded at the EDIH Summit 2026 in Brussels.

The partnership with WIN-WIN EDIH from Ukraine places a strong emphasis on the exchange of experience regarding the activities and services provided by European Digital Innovation Hubs. The two organizations will collaborate to identify best practices for supporting SMEs, conduct comparative analyses of the needs of enterprises in the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, and organize joint training and capacity-building activities. The cooperation will also contribute to initiatives supporting the reconstruction and development of Ukraine’s business environment in the post-conflict period.

The Memorandum signed with AI EDIH Hungary opens up significant opportunities for collaboration in the fields of artificial intelligence and deep-tech technologies. The partners will carry out joint activities aimed at exploring and promoting AI-based solutions, facilitate SMEs’ access to specialized expertise and infrastructure, and cooperate in identifying and leveraging European funding opportunities for innovative projects.

Cooperation with InnovationAmp EDIH from Bulgaria will focus on exchanging experience in SME digitalization, developing “test before invest” services, implementing training and digital skills development programmes, and identifying synergies for participation in joint European initiatives and projects. Particular attention will be given to sectors such as agriculture, tourism, and the digital transformation of small and medium-sized enterprises.

According to Ion Bodrug, President of ACETI and Coordinator of EDIH “DIH of Moldova”, these agreements represent an important step towards further integrating the Moldovan hub into the European network of digital innovation centres and expanding the opportunities available to companies and organizations in the Republic of Moldova.

“Partnerships with hubs from Ukraine, Hungary and Bulgaria enable us to leverage European expertise, enhance the quality of services provided to our beneficiaries, and create new opportunities for international cooperation for SMEs, public institutions and research organizations in the Republic of Moldova,” said Ion Bodrug.

Through these new agreements, EDIH “DIH of Moldova” is expanding its international cooperation network and contributing to the strengthening of the regional innovation and digital transformation ecosystem by facilitating the exchange of knowledge, technologies and development opportunities among European countries.
