The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest, through Adrian-Victor Vevera, General Director, participated as a speaker at the Moldova Internet Governance Forum (MIGF) 2026, held from April 23 to 24 in Chisinau.
The event, now in its sixth edition, brought together experts from the Republic of Moldova and other countries, providing a framework for dialogue on the main topics of the regional and global digital agenda. The discussions focused on the European digital path, infrastructure security, digital rights, inclusion, and new challenges in cybersecurity.
In his intervention, Adrian-Victor Vevera emphasised that digital transformation must be evaluated both in terms of technological development and its impact on society: “Digital transformation is not measured only by speed, but by the ability to generate trust and public value. Technological progress becomes relevant when it responds to real needs and contributes to the consolidation of a safe and fair digital space.” At the same time, he highlighted the importance of regional cooperation and multi-stakeholder dialogue in developing digital policies, especially in the context of accelerated technological developments and the European path of the Republic of Moldova.
The Moldova Internet Governance Forum is organised annually by the “Internet Community” Association, under the aegis of the global Internet Governance Forum (IGF). It serves as an open platform for dialogue among authorities, academia, the private sector, civil society, and the technical community.
