workshop with the theme “Digitalization - An Engine for Accelerating the Development and

Economic Growth of the Republic of Moldova”.

During the event, the principal specialist from the Information Technology Division of AGEPI,

placed on the online applications filing platforms: e-servicii.agepi.gov.md, pct.wipo.int/ePCT and

increasingly used.
