What they do
Their core work
RTTM (Technology Transfer Network of Moldova) is an NGO that supports Moldovan SMEs in accessing EU innovation instruments and improving their innovation management capacity. Based in Chisinau, they serve as a bridge between Moldova's small business ecosystem and European funding programs, particularly the SME Instrument. Their core work involves coaching SMEs on innovation processes, helping them navigate EU support schemes, and building local innovation infrastructure in the Republic of Moldova.

Evolution & trajectory
How they've shifted over time
Early focus
SME innovation support Moldova
Recent focus
SME innovation support Moldova
RTTM's focus has remained remarkably consistent across their H2020 participation (2017–2021). All three projects address the same core mission: improving SME innovation management in Moldova through EU support instruments. The continuation from Business INN Moldova to two rounds of PROBIM suggests an iterative, deepening engagement rather than a shift in direction — they refined their approach rather than changed their topic.
RTTM is doubling down on SME innovation coaching in Moldova rather than diversifying, suggesting they aim to become the go-to local partner for EU-funded SME support programs in the country.
Collaboration profile
How they like to work
Role: specialist_contributorReach: regional1 countries collaborated
RTTM has participated exclusively as a partner, never as coordinator, across all three projects. With only 3 unique consortium partners from 1 country, they operate in small, focused teams rather than large multi-country consortia. This profile suggests they serve as a reliable local implementation partner — the organization you bring in when your project needs a foothold in Moldova's SME ecosystem.
RTTM has a narrow network of 3 consortium partners concentrated in a single country, suggesting they work with a small circle of repeat collaborators rather than building a wide European network. Their geographic focus is firmly on Moldova and its immediate neighborhood.
Why partner with them
What sets them apart
RTTM occupies a niche as one of very few Moldovan organizations active in H2020, making them a valuable gateway for any EU project needing local SME engagement in Moldova. Their repeated participation in SME-focused Coordination and Support Actions means they understand both the EU funding landscape and the practical realities of Moldovan small businesses. For consortium builders targeting Eastern Partnership countries, RTTM offers established local networks and on-the-ground implementation capability.
