The Moldova Digital Summit 2025 brought together innovators, policy leaders, and tech visionaries to explore the next chapter of digital transformation in Eastern Europe.
Our founder Taavi Kotka delivered a keynote titled “Becoming a Millionaire in the Public Sector – Without Corruption”, where he introduced a bold results-based incentive system for civil servants and NGOs—one that rewards only when measurable societal goals are achieved.
At the heart of the idea is a simple principle: no reward without real impact. The model, also known as the Wicklow Model, takes a transparent, digital-first approach to reform. It motivates innovation, aligns public and personal interests, encourages smart risk-taking, and ensures that outcomes—not just processes—are what count.
In a sector often held back by fragmentation and weak incentives, this model proposes a way to track contributions, distribute rewards fairly, and drive meaningful, lasting change.
Moldova is boldly shaping its digital future, and we are proud to have contributed to the conversation and to witness the ambition and energy driving its digital community.
Let’s keep building a future where technology works for people.
