In preparation · Announced 21 October 2026

Questions we start fromExamples

How do we pull the essential information out of thousands of documents automatically?

What the Centre will do

Three areas of work. One standard.

Every result must be measurable, and verifiable by anyone who relies on it.

Applied research and products

We start from real problems in healthcare, education and business, and build AI solutions validated where they will be used.

Training and knowledge transfer

Online programmes for specialists, managers and institutional teams, matched to each person's role and experience. Each ends with a certificate of completion.

Responsible testing and deployment

We measure how every system performs, state openly what it cannot do, and make clear where a person decides.

How we work

Problems first. AI solutions second.

Every project starts from a verifiable need and carries clear success indicators from day one.

AI proposes.
People decide.

Moldova has chosen a European path, and trust in technology is built on clear rules. These are ours, built in from the design stage.

  • Data protection
  • Security
  • Decision traceability
  • Risk assessment
  • Documented processes
  • Independent verification of results

Ambition

Built in Moldova. Designed for the world.

The Centre aims to work with academia, the private sector and international organisations to exchange expertise and develop joint projects. Our priority is a framework in which specialists in Moldova and across the diaspora can contribute, wherever they are, to products and research with international relevance.

“BLACK& expands by building capability where it can endure. Moldova has the talent, the energy and the European direction to become a source of AI expertise, not only a user of it. The Centre of Excellence in Artificial Intelligence is how we intend to invest in that potential: patiently, with clear standards, and with a long-term commitment to the people and institutions who will build it with us.”

Rami Yaghi · Regional Director, BLACK&
