On September 20, 2025, the sixth edition of AUTOMOTIVE FORUM MOLDOVA brought together industry leaders and professionals at one of the country’s most important automotive sector events.

The forum was organized by EUROGARAGE Moldova, in collaboration with other companies of the AMG Holding—AUTOMALL, GROUPAUTO Moldova, and TECHNOCAR—highlighting the group’s commitment to supporting the development of the Moldovan aftermarket. The event attracted 32 international partners from 10 countries, representing more than 58 aftermarket brands, and welcomed over 1,800 industry professionals. The program featured two business conferences with five international speakers, 23 technical seminars, and a panel discussion addressing the key trends shaping the industry’s future.

The forum received support from Moldovan government officials and was attended by international guests, including Günter Weber, President & CEO of GROUPAUTO International, and Guillaume Granier, former Business Development Director of GAI.

The Moldovan automotive market is evolving rapidly, following global trends. The share of electric and hybrid vehicles has steadily increased in recent years, reshaping the country’s vehicle fleet. At the same time, the growing presence of Chinese automotive manufacturers is strengthening their market position. These shifts are transforming not only the composition of vehicles but also related sectors, including maintenance, repair, and the automotive parts supply chain.

A highlight of the forum was the panel discussion with Denis Nevedomschi, Director of EUROGARAGE Moldova, Pavel Gu?u, Vice President of AMG Holding, and Vladimir Migashko, Head of Sales at BOSCH. The discussion explored the current state of the industry, challenges in harmonizing with EU standards, and key market risks, including the shortage of qualified professionals.

Other insights on emerging trends:

Guenter Weber and Guillaume Granier presented a strategic outlook on the rapid growth of Chinese automotive brands and the expansion of electric mobility, emphasizing their transformative impact on regional and global markets.

Vladimir Matusevich, Regional Sales Director at BOSCH, and Vladislav Lutsenko, Service Engineer at DENSO, addressed the new era of mobility, the integration of circular economy principles, and the evolving automotive service market.

Ulrich Wiedemuth, Sales Director of the Ferdinand Bilstein Group, highlighted workforce development, noting:
"Education and professional training are the foundation of sustainable development. Investing in people is just as important as investing in technology."

The forum also featured an exhibition of leading global brands, providing a platform for workshops, suppliers, and industry professionals to engage in direct dialogue, explore cutting-edge technologies, and form new partnerships.

By combining knowledge sharing, strategic insights, and industry networking, AUTOMOTIVE FORUM MOLDOVA 2025 reinforced its role as a catalyst for the growth and modernization of Moldova’s automotive industry, connecting professionals, ideas, and technologies for a stronger, more competitive market.
