The Organization for the Development of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (ODIMM) invited entrepreneurs to the launch of a new Business Portal that will provide information about how to start and develop a business. Iulia Costin-Iabanji, secretary general of state at the Ministry of Economy and Infrastructure, who served as director at ODIMM during many years, said the organization had a website that provided such information, but they managed to modernize and extend this instrument with the assistance of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), IPN reports.

“Form my experience at the ODIMM, I know how important for small and medium-sized entrepreneurs is to know the news, the launched projects and the financing opportunities for SMEs. The website became a Business Portal, which could be accessed from the mobile phone as well. “I’m glad that the launch of the portal involves entrepreneurs from the Transnistrian region,” said the secretary general of state at the Ministry of Economy. She recommended the ODIMM team to initiate the rubric “Forum” on the portal so as to ensure greater interaction between the ODIMM and entrepreneurs.

Gennady Gretu, the representative of the IOM Office in Moldova, said the information placed on the portal should help the SMEs become more competitive and identify new markets for selling their products and services.

ODIMM acting director Petru Gurgurov said the information published on the portal will be permanently updated and will be useful to entrepreneurs and to those who intend to start a business. There will be presented success stories and good working practices of companies.
