The FINANCIAL — As part of the EU-funded East Invest project, a delegation of 10 Moldovan SMEs from the textile and agribusiness sectors as well as representatives from Ministry of Economy of Moldova and the Moldovan Chamber of Commerce and Industry visited the Baltic States on 17-22 May.
The visit was organised to coincide with the Eastern Partnership Business Forum in Riga. Besides the Latvian capital they also visited Tallinn, Estonia and Vilnius, Lithuania, according to EU Neighbourhood Info.
During the trip, participants met potential business partners at B2B sessions and worked to promote Moldova as an investment destination for Baltic businesses.
The visiting Moldovan companies also made study visits to Lithuanian, Estonian and Latvian companies where they found out about certification requirements, European quality and standard issues, packing, labelling and hygiene requirements.

It targets business support organisations and SMEs from the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine).
