BRIDGE Export 2027–2028: 16 million lei for business associations, deadline 2 December

The Investment Agency has launched the third call of the BRIDGE Export programme for 2027–2028, with a budget of 16 million lei. The money goes to business associations that run joint campaigns to promote Moldovan goods and services abroad.

The programme covers up to 60% of eligible costs. It can co-finance participation in international exhibitions and fairs, business missions and B2B meetings, market studies and promotion campaigns abroad. Projects must take a sector-wide approach and benefit both member and non-member companies.

The application guide and eligibility rules are published on invest.gov.md. The deadline for applications is 2 December 2026.

What it means for you

• If you export or plan to, ask your sector association whether it is applying – it could get you to a foreign fair at a lower cost.
• Associations have about a month to prepare their application.
• The grant is non-repayable but covers no more than 60% of costs; the rest must come from other sources.
