In order to reduce the gap and encourage the development of startups based on information technologies, the Republic of Moldova aligns with international trends and implements programs dedicated to growing and supporting startup businesses. Five up-and-coming tech startups from Moldova are set to pitch on November 26th at 16:00 at the Online Seedstars Chisinau Competition 2020/21. One local winner will move on to the Regional Stage and compete for a spot at the Grand Finale, where the grand prize is USD 500K in equity investment.
