Should you find yourself strolling through Chisinau one day, Digital Park will inevitably be part of your itinerary. Not without a vast greenspace and a recreational garden, Digital Park is nevertheless a different kind of park – the first of its kind in the Republic of Moldova. It was launched in 2019 and represents the first technological park hosted by the capital. Designed as a true ecosystem, it enables the tech-related businesses that reside in its offices to develop, grow and ultimately, thrive. Currently, its beneficiaries are local and foreign IT companies spanning industries such as retail, legal, banking and finance, software, data science and creative animation.
Digital Park was seven years in the making. Yet it was a matter of months until the space was let at 100% capacity. In 2021 alone, the company received 340 residency requests, corroborating that demand for IT infrastructure is high and encouraging the owners in their endeavours to develop the ecosystem further. Construction works on Block D are due to commence in 2023. The next building in the ecosystem will provide an additional 25,000 m2 of office spaces, conference rooms, commercial facilities, an educational centre, a gym and an indoor garden.
The core of the digital community
Digital Park does not draw the ‘digital’ like at its residents. Instead, it focuses on bringing together the whole digital community through the events it hosts.
Its three conference rooms have seen everything from forums, hackathons, workshops and immersive experiences, while its outdoor spaces have welcomed festivals, concerts, movie screenings and team buildings. Finally, the rooftop has brought many projects and teams to new heights, literally and figuratively. The company prides itself in being the go-to place for many national and international stakeholders, including governmental and local administration figures.
Environmental, social and governance
Digital Park is a smart project, from architecture to engineering networks. For example, the expansive windows purposely face north to let natural light flood the spaces during wintertime. Likewise, the façade was covered with ceramic tiles facing the south, keeping the buildings cool in the summer heat. All in all, it aims to be energy efficient in all its operations.
