A Business Consulting Centre was opened in Carpineni in the framework of the “Multi-dimensional partnership for inclusive sustainable economic development in the commune of Cărpineni” project that is funded by the EU. It will provide advisory services for local and regional businesses in the areas of accounting, human resources, financing programs, and others.

Present at the inauguration event, Jānis Mažeiks, Ambassador of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova, said that: “Sustainable economic development of a country means investing in all its regions, including rural areas. For this reason, I supported the creation of the Business Consulting Centre in the commune of Carpineni. The Centre will certainly support the economic development of the commune by providing advice and training to local entrepreneurs, which will contribute to the creation of jobs and many other opportunities for the local youth, who will be able to work here, at home.”

Ion Cărpineanu, mayor of Cărpineni, said the mission of the Cărpineni Business Consulting Centre is to provide all the necessary support to the rural business environment. In the countryside, limited access to various legal and labor law information has a direct impact on business. “We wanted to concentrate as many information and support services for entrepreneurs as possible in a single center, where people would benefit from advice and the opportunity to apply for various funding programs,” stated the mayor.

Thanks to EU assistance, important results have been achieved for the community's economic development through this project. Thus, 35 entrepreneurs have been trained to strengthen their entrepreneurial skills, over 100 employees of companies in the region have been trained on enhancing entrepreneurial culture, and over 30 young people have attended training courses and activities that stimulate the development of entrepreneurial spirit. At the same time, a local brand and an entrepreneurial cluster were created with the aim of promoting local products and attracting investment.

The Cărpineni Business Consulting Centre was launched within the “Multi-dimensional partnership for inclusive sustainable economic development in the commune of Cărpineni” project. The project is funded by the European Union through the “Mayors for Economic Growth” program and is implemented by the Cărpineni Town Hall and Cutezătorul not-for-profit organization in 2022 – 2023.
