Support for export promotion: 16 business associations to receive 14.6 million lei through Bridge Export Program

A total of 16 business associations in the Republic of Moldova will receive non-repayable funding amounting to 14.6 million lei for export promotion. The support is provided through the Bridge Export 2026 Program, launched by the Government via the Investment Agency and the Ministry of Economic Development and Digitalization.

The beneficiary associations were selected by the Investment Agency. The institution announced that the allocated financial resources will be used to implement 124 export promotion activities. Through the funded projects, companies from the Republic of Moldova will gain access to international fairs and exhibitions, economic missions and B2B meetings, promotional campaigns on foreign markets, market studies, and sectoral strategies.

The Bridge Export Program is a financial instrument designed for implementing sectoral strategies and activities aimed at promoting exporters from the Republic of Moldova. It seeks to make export promotion efforts more efficient by facilitating access to non-repayable financial resources, covering up to 60% of the eligible costs of proposed projects.

Over the past three years, through its grant program, the Investment Agency has provided more than eight million lei for 46 activities, supporting 20 initiatives by business associations dedicated to export promotion and business internationalization, generating exports worth over one billion lei. In 2026, the budget allocated for the program was increased to 20 million lei.
