Fintech Moldova’s Post

The best one yet! Last Friday Fintech Moldova Conference 2024 took place! 300 people from Moldova, Romania, Ukraine, the UK, the USA, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, Greece, Germany, Azerbaijan, Portugal, Switzerland, Spain, Austria, and other places met under the same roof to talk about Fintech. Over the 6 editions, since 2019, I am happy to say as the organizer, that the quality of this event is just getting better. Subjects that were talked about in 2019, are now becoming a reality in Moldova, and we've been able to bring together people we'd never imagine we could bring to Moldova. As always nothing would happen without the support of everyone involved. My deepest sincerest gratitude to: Our main partners from Mastercard (namely Alexandra Hontar, Alla Andruschenko, Inga Andreeva, Irina Untila, Daniela Dontu, Maryna Krasnopolska, Anzhela Kashperuk, Vladimir Rimchuck, and others involved) and maib (namely Giorgi Shagidze, CFA, Aliona Stratan, Corina Ciurea-Samanati, Iulia Bogusevschi, Andrei Ostrovschii, Svetlana Bodaci, Natalia Leahu, and others involved)!
