Startup Moldova Summit 2026 | Official Opening Event

April 21, 2026 | 16:00 - 21:00 | maib park, Chișinău

The Startup Moldova Summit 2026 kicks off with an exclusive Opening Event designed to set the tone for the entire Summit experience. Bringing together founders, investors, policymakers, and ecosystem leaders from Moldova and across the region, this curated gathering offers a first look into the conversations, opportunities, and collaborations that will define this year’s edition.

The evening begins with the official opening of the Summit, followed by two high-level panel discussions exploring regional perspectives and Moldova’s evolving startup ecosystem. Together, these conversations frame the strategic direction, challenges, and opportunities shaping innovation across Eastern Europe and beyond.

Following the formal program, the event transitions into a networking reception celebrating 5 years of Startup Moldova, an opportunity to connect, reflect, and engage in a more informal setting with key actors of the ecosystem.

Designed as a strategic prelude rather than a standalone event, the Opening ensures that by the time the Summit continues on April 22, conversations are already underway, connections are formed, and the ecosystem is fully activated.
