What it is

Unveiled by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization Doina Nistor, HaiTek Park is designed around high-value sectors: AI, cybersecurity, data processing, microelectronics, medical research, creative industries and more. The concept blends modern offices, laboratories, university campuses, conference spaces and testbeds — an ecosystem where talent can study, build, and scale without leaving home.

Scale and timeline

• €200+ million in direct investment, combining EU Growth Plan support, private capital and development partners;
• 21,600+ jobs projected once fully operational (from 2030);
• €1.28 billion estimated net economic impact over the first two decades;
• Construction to start in 2026, with a build-out of about five years.

Parliament has already adopted a special legal regime for the park (10 July), while the government is moving to set up the management company and fast-track enabling decisions — a sign this project has shifted from feasibility to implementation.

Designed for sustainability

HaiTek Park puts energy efficiency and clean mobility at the core: PV rooftops, EV-friendly transport, generous green public spaces, and a campus layout that privileges walking, cycling and short commutes. The intent is to couple low-carbon infrastructure with high-productivity industries — aligning the project with European standards for sustainable development.

Talent engine and partnerships

In partnership with the Technical University of Moldova and the Nicolae Testemițanu State University of Medicine and Pharmacy, the park targets 15,000+ trained specialists over the next decade, matching academic programs with real-world labs and industrial partners. The design work draws on European best practices and is supported by programs such as Innovate Moldova (funded by Sweden), UMAEF, and the UNITH2B architecture studio.

Why it matters

• Future-proof jobs. The park focuses growth in sectors with high added value, helping retain young talent and attract skilled returnees.
• Stronger resilience. A diversified, innovation-led economy is less exposed to external shocks and better integrated with EU supply chains and standards.
• Place branding with substance. HaiTek Park gives Moldova a tangible flagship for its European, sustainable development path — a home for startups, corporates, and research teams to co-create solutions with regional impact.
