Why choose Moldova for business development over better-known tech destinations like Poland or India?
Moldova offers a specific combination that makes it the right choice for certain business development projects: Moldova IT Park offers 7% single tax rate on revenue. For companies targeting Eastern Europe markets, Moldova's time zone, moderate English proficiency, and proximity make it operationally simpler than an 8-hour time zone gap to India.
