    I came to Techvillage with mixed expectations- not knowing Moldova nor the startup ecosystem. Thanks to the whole Techvillage team we had a smooth programme, insightful startup sessions and cultural events.
    Huge credit to the startups - they were brave to pitch, curious to learn and there is undoubtedly talent in your ecosystem.
    Moldova has a bright European future ahead so i’ll be following your ecosystem’s developments with a keen eye. I’m looking forward to joining next year in 2025! Thanks!
  • Alex Cebotari
    Founder, AVO
    TechVillage was one of the most unusual and the coolest startup event I ever attended. The most I liked is that investors/mentors were treated somehow in the same way as startups guys, which broke the ice at the beginning and allowed more close interaction with them during the upcoming days. And of course, the event place was incredible.
  • Jaroslav Trojan
    N1 Ventures
    TechVillage was a great experience for connecting with innovative startups and forward-thinking entrepreneurs. The energy and quality of startups were impressive, making it a must-attend for investors seeking fresh opportunities.
  • Alexandru Dereavenco
    Founder, nemo.ai
    The very unusual setting of a pittoresque village felt more like a getaway from the daily routine, and helped focus solely on talking to the fellow attendees about all things business development, idea validation and potential investment opportunities. I highly recommend attending if you have the opportunity.
  • Egils Boitmanis
    Investor, Board Infinitum 8
    TechVillage was a fun, cultural, educational event for startups and Investors. Somehow we tend to think that we need separate events for wine, travel, relax, work, networking... TechVillage managed to combine these all in one beautiful event! Multi-purpose event done RIGHT!
  • Ruben Osipyan
    Science & Technology Angels Network (STAN)
    I am grateful to XY Partners and supporters of the TechVillage project for the opportunity to meet the Moldovan startup ecosystem and fellow investors. Within two days, I met 10+ potential partners and around 20 innovative startups. Being full-time together with the investors created a foundation for strengthening the ties and converting the connection into a lasting partnership. Warm greetings from Armenia.
  • Startup
    What I can Say is that in everyday life I underestimated the real Power of networking. At Techvillage I had the opportunity to network and make connections with Great People from countries I never thought we can go. Also, I saw that every investor thinks and feels different about investing in Startups. And I made a conclusion for Me, as a startUper I also can choose the investor.
  • Startup
    It was the most efficient networking event of investors and startups I have attended ever. Thanks a lot, XY and Technovator!
  • Startup
    Unlike typical boring conferences, this event offered the chance for startups and investors to collaborate as one team, meet in an unconventional setting, and experience the culture of Moldova. It was an excellent and fresh experience.
