Trade missions should not be judged by how many people board the plane. They should be judged by the commercial progress they create. Following a planning meeting with Paul Kallee-Grover MBE, Dina Railean explains how the UK Business-Led Trade Mission to Moldova will combine company-specific preparation, targeted access and structured follow-up. Only two or three places remain for the mission during Moldova Business Week 2026.

Moldova offers UK businesses access to three connected opportunities: its own developing economy, closer integration with the European Union and a potential gateway to Ukraine’s reconstruction. Following my participation in Moldova’s Diaspora Forum, I am turning that discussion into practical action. Together with Paul Kallee-Grover MBE, I will lead a UK Trade Mission to Moldova from 27 September to 2 October 2026. The mission will coincide with Moldova Business Week and give a selected group of British businesses direct market insight, trusted guidance and access to relevant relationships.
