“ASM represents an institution of great national prestige which, through its prodigious activity, has recorded valuable results, of major importance for the economy of the Republic of Moldova, for the development of our society in general, for the advancement of national science and innovation and their integration in the international research space. Taking care of the protection and promotion of intellectual capital, AGEPI collaborates fruitfully with ASM. Such collaborations represent a fundamental pillar in the development and progress of society, contributing to strengthening the links between academia, research and the private sector. It is remarkable that a good part of the total number of inventions and new technologies protected in the Republic of Moldova belongs to researchers and inventors from our research institutes,” said Andrei Popa from the podium.
