Nine firms in the Ungheni district won ODA grants worth 3.8 million lei — in a year the local economy shrank

The “National Entrepreneurship Tour” stopped in Ungheni, with officials and speeches about opportunity. Beyond the event, though, the question that matters for an Ungheni resident with a business is plainer: how much state support for entrepreneurs actually reaches the district. The answer is in the open data — in 2024, nine firms from the Ungheni district drew ODA grants worth 3.81 million lei, more than neighbouring districts. And that in a year when the district lost both jobs and turnover.
