Chisinau, 20 December /MOLDPRES/ - Economics and Infrastructure Minister Chiril Gaburici has discussed with representatives of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) the initiation of a public-private partnership on the construction of 50,000 square metres of physical infrastructure for an IT park.   

„The 2018 year has been a year when we have managed to achieve very good results in the information technology and communications sector. The first IT Park, Moldova IT Park, was set up this year; the park presently registers over 300 IT companies, of which 87 companies with foreign capital, 71 newly created companies, 5,900 employees, salaries between 23,000 and 220,000 lei.
