Also there will be discussions on the topic of business in healthcare sector, to see how we can support this sector, able to attract large investments from abroad”, said Fortuna.

Also, trainings will be organized for people, who desire to start their own business, especially in rural area. The focus will be put on innovational development of the business and wide usage of IT.

 

“Without corresponding application of innovation technologies in the field of business environment, it is very difficult for Moldova to move on”, said the Association Head.
