During his visit to the US, Energy Minister Victor Parlicov had a productive discussion with the General Manager for Government Affairs and Policy of General Electric (GE), George A. Pickart.

The parties discussed the possible opportunities for the development of innovative projects in the Republic of Moldova, given the fact that General Electric has in its portfolio a number of solutions and companies, which are engaged in innovation and development of new technologies.

In this context, Mr. Victor Parlicov, presented the concept of the draft Law on the innovative test spaces for energy regulation in the Republic of Moldova, known as Sandbox, developed with the support of UNDP Moldova.
