The story

DroneFest Moldova in Chisinau

DroneFest Moldova is the country's leading drone technology festival, staged at Valea Trandafirilor Park in Chisinau. Its second edition, held May 16 and 17, 2026, offered free admission alongside drone shows, demonstration flights, an innovation zone for aerial photography and monitoring technology, and networking opportunities aimed at engineering and IT careers.

Valea Trandafirilor Park, a green space more often associated with strolling and recreation, took on a very different role for two days in May 2026, when it hosted the second edition of DroneFest Moldova, the country's leading festival dedicated to drone technology.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

As Moldova's principal event dedicated specifically to drone technology, DroneFest occupies a niche that general tech or aviation festivals do not cover in the same depth, combining public spectacle with a career-oriented networking function

02

The mystery stays covered

Free admission at the second edition, held May 16 and 17, 2026, in Valea Trandafirilor Park, opened the drone shows and demonstration flights to a general public audience rather than limiting them to industry professionals

03

The city starts moving

At the same time, the innovation zone, showcasing aerial photography and monitoring applications, and the networking opportunities aimed at engineering and IT careers, give the festival a practical function beyond entertainment, positioning it as a recruitment and industry-building event as much as a public airshow in miniature
