The ICTEC will fill the industry gap with education activities, support services, and a state-of-the-art technological environment. This center will represent a combination of best educational practices and latest technologies aimed to help students, industry specialists and the population in ATU Gagauzia to acquire the necessary IT skills and develop new ICT driven products and ideas.
The ICTEC will help create a learning and entrepreneurial ecosystem for ICT industry development and further its competitiveness. This will contribute to growing innovation, more and better paid jobs, improved living for Moldovan people. ATU Gagauzia local authorities are willing to invest 5 M lei into physical infrastructure, therefore Tekwill is exploring to share its knowledge and provide further technical assistance in this sense.
The ICT Center of Excellence will be located at Comrat State University and will open its doors to the general public this fall. It will organize several events to promote the use of technology, entrepreneurship programs, IT education and training programs that meet the needs of the private sector. Investments in equipping the Center of Excellence in the field of IT will be carried out within the TEKWILL project, and the authorities of Gagauzia, one of the signatories to the Memorandum, have undertaken to build and renovate the center at their own expense.
On March 5th, 2021, a Memorandum of Understanding with local authorities for the establishment of Tekwill-type center in Comrat was signed.
