Ninety-nine companies will receive 8.4 million lei in financing for improving or transforming the business process by using digital technologies. The money will be allocated through the SMEs Digitization Support Instrument that is financed with state budget funds and is supported by the EU and GIZ Moldova.

The Organization for the Development of the Sector of Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises (ODIMM), which is implementing the program, in a press release said that 210 companies took part in the second contest of projects within the support instrument. The companies went through a complex selection process. Forty-six companies will benefit from grants of up to 200,000 lei each for digitizing business processes, while 53 companies will receive business vouchers of up to 20,000 lei each for website development services and services to promote the business through social networking sites.

The SMEs Digitization Support Instrument was launched in June 2020. Until now, 466 companies have been trained, while 180 companies have been financially supported by grants and business vouchers.
