More than 255 companies have announced their intention to take part in the 14th national exhibition “Made in Moldova” that is traditionally organized by the Chamber of Trade and Industry in cooperation with its partners, IPN reports.

The Chamber’s head Valeriu Lazar told a news conference that 25-30 more companies are yet ‘in reserve’ and they are looking for areas to allow these companies to also take part. The participating companies work in different areas of activity and represent most of the country’s districts, including Transnistria. The exhibit includes 26 events that will enable the economic enteritis to discuss first of all the opportunities generated by the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement with the EU.

On the first day of the exhibition, on January 28, there will be launched the Local Business Agenda. The Institute for Development and Social Initiative “Viitorul” is promoting the National Business Agenda whose goal is to intensify the public-private dialogue. In this respect, the Chamber of Trade and Industry will sign a cooperation agreement with “Viitorul” in extending the agenda at local level.

On the same day, there will be presented the investment opportunities in the Black Sea Region with the participation of businessmen from Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Turkey, and Russia. Currently, the Chamber of Trade and Industry is holding the presidency of the Business Council of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization.

Among other planned events are training seminars on online marketing and the impact of industrial design on innovation in production. For the first time, the National Office of Vine and Wine will set up a common stand of the national winemaking companies under the country brand “Wine of Moldova. A Living Legend”.

Director of the National Office of Vine and Wine Dumitru Munteanu told the same news conference that the visitors will be able to purchase products of 15 wineries and six brandy makers at special prices. “We want to promote our products of a high quality and every day within the exhibit will stage masterclasses and wine tasting events on particular themes: wines made from national sorts of grapes and from Europeans sorts, dry wines containing sugar, and cognacs,” he stated.

Within the exhibit, there will be presented the results of the traditional contest “Trademark of the Year” and of the contest to confer the Quality Award, which was revived by the Chamber of Trade and Industry after a pause of several years.
