The innovative development process in Moldova

• Agricultural Sector in the Republic of Moldova is
  one of the leading sectors in economy (8-10 of
  GDP).
• Innovation activity in Agro industrial Complex of
  RM
• a management of complex natural and economic
  systems, process of new technologies, chemical
  and biological agents developments.
• Innovations in agro industrial complex -
  implementation of research and development in the
  form of new varieties, breeds and species of
  animals and poultry, new or improved food
  products, materials and technologies in crop
  production, livestock and processing industries,
  fertilizers and protection for plants and
  animals, etc.

Applied technological researches in AIC of
Moldova are developed in the following
directions

• agriculture, land amelioration, water and
  forestry
• crop and plant protection
• livestock and veterinary medicine
• mechanization, electrification and automation of
  production
• storage and processing of agricultural products.

5
The peculiarities of innovation
process in the AIC of Moldova

• different types of agricultural products and
  processed products, significant difference in
  technologies of their cultivation and production
  
• territorial fragmentation of agricultural
  production and large differentiation in
  production conditions
• difference in period of production for certain
  types of agricultural products and processed
  products
• dependence of emerging technologies on natural
  and weather conditions
• lack of a clear and evidence-based organizational
  - economic mechanism of technology transfer in
  agricultural sector.

6
Coordination and implementation of innovation
activity mechanisms in Moldova

• Agency for Innovation and Technology Transfer
  (AITT) coordinator of innovative and technology
  transfer activities in Moldova (2007)
• coordinates implementation of technology transfer
  projects
• organizes competition of innovation and
  technology transfer projects for their funding
  from the state budget
• develops relationship between science and
  business environment through the creation of
  innovation infrastructure (technology parks and
  technology incubators), innovative and technology
  transfer projects within these structures
• organizes competition for the selection of
  residents and managers of science parks and
  incubators of innovation, contributes to the
  promotion of science and innovation results
• identifies innovative solutions for small and
  medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)
• provides companies access to science and
  innovation achievements.

Scientific and technological park INAGRO

• Scientific and technological park INAGRO
  was created in 2008. The purpose of its
  creating - transfer of agricultural technologies
  AIC, Moldova
• Production capacity
• complex of buildings (15 ha)
• agricultural land (92,5 hectares)
• scientific-industrial complex branch in district
  Cahul of Moldova.
• 14 residents of the STP INAGRO are
  carrying out innovative projects in the field of
  agriculture and food industry.

The main innovative technologies in AIC Moldova

• Innovative product "FOLIAR PLUS, used in
  viticulture for stimulation of grapes
  productivity (improves performance yield with
  15-20).
• Innovative technologies of reproduction and
  cultivation of sorghum with eatable grain -
  "SORIZ increase and planting new seeds of
  sorghum with eatable grain - SORIZ. Group SORIZ
  can replace rice.
• New maize/corn hybrids "waxyl" and "owx1
  resistant to various diseases, pest and climate
  changes, with high productivity and resistance to
  drought.
• New corn hybrids adapted to different climatic
  zones, RM Porumbeni MRf 176 and FAO 170 (early
  corn hybrids that are resistant and adapted to
  the northern zones of Moldova), the performance
  is 30 higher than of the Republic of Belarus
  hybrids).
