1) The Republic of Moldova, in the south-east of Europe, has been become independent since 1991, after the wreck of Soviet Union
(http://www.nationsencyclopedia.com/Europe/Moldova.html). This very little state is unfortunately very poor (http://www.indexmundi.com/moldova/economy_profile.html), it has no own natural energy resources, and it has to survive thanks to energy imports; but the state is partner of the project INOGATE, which is involved to develop policy for energy ( http://www.inogate.org/index.php?option=com_inogate&view=projects&Itemid=0&lang=en) and to attract foreign stakeholders. Particularly, thanks to this project, we can organize travels to explore theoretical places for hydroelectrical sites on the rivers Dniestr and Prut; because, despite of the law, there are many difficulties ("informal barriers", see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Moldova, section 10 "foreign investment") to encourage foreign investitures. Probably, the government wanted to make progress in this aspect with a delegation at the Baku conference about new industrial parks (http://www.unido.org/index.php?id=7881&tx_ttnews%5Btt_news%5D=1182&cHash=ba890e662ce2b9b30837624bb4c176ea).
The state has essentially an agricole economy, with a good climate and modern equipments, but very vulnerabile from weather (http://www.slideshare.net/ghenador/culture-and-change-in-moldova): principal products are vegetables, fruit and grain.
The most important industries are food processing, pieces for domestic electrical applicances, textiles. At present, the most interesting possibility for investitors is the wine
industry, and the largest quantity of product is exported.
About theme "culture and industry", we can suggest only the State Enterprise Quality Wines company of Milestii Mici, an enormous wine collection (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milestii_Mici_(winery), which was presented during European Heritage days in 2010 as a "living" wine museum
About world heritage, at present, Moldova has only a part of the Struve geodetic arc, a scientific installation of a study about earth meridians(http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1187). Other two locations, in the national territory, are now in the tentative list (http://whc.unesco.org/en/statesparties/md).
2) In the secondary sector, that is the few existing industries as textiles, stell and chemicals are concentraded in the capital and in the city of Tiraspol, Belcy and Thighina.
Like other former soviet republics, Moldova is also undergoing a period of evolution toward different social structures and market.
The importance of the private sector as gradually accelerated to 60% of GDP
3) Food processing is the largest domestic industry, followed by power generation, engineering , hosiery, shoes, and textiles. The food industry accounted for 58.2 percent of the manufacturing output in 1997, far ahead of energy production the second largest industry.
Wine represents a major product of Moldova's economy, with exports in a good year accounting for up to 50 percent of the total export income. The wine industry has attracted some western investment.
The tobacco processing industry remains one of the country's most important; during Soviet times, the republic produced 40 percent of the USSR's annual crop.
Moldova plans to privatize Tutun, the country's largest tobacco concern. Some new industries, such as scrap metal processing, chemicals, and medical equipment, have also emerged since independence.
