EnergyTech Challenge | UNDP
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “Singularity”
With Moldova’s planned deployment of over 100,000 household smart electricity meters, the energy sector is entering a transformative phase. But smart meters alone don’t guarantee smarter energy systems.
This challenge invited participants to build a prototype system that unlocks the potential of real-time consumption data. The solution had to help energy providers monitor and manage grid load, anticipate peak demands, and provide actionable recommendations to consumers for more efficient and sustainable electricity use.
Team “Singularity” successfully met this challenge by creating an innovative mobile application. Their solution transforms raw energy consumption data into useful, easy-to-understand information for users, offering personalized simulations, clear recommendations, and detailed forecasts based on the individual consumption of each home appliance.
AI Challenge | Orbility
30 000 MDL
Green Energy Production Forecasting: Powering the Future
Winner – Team “FalcoNS”
This challenge invited participants to create a hybrid AI system capable of replacing a human parking operator by combining real-time user interaction with automated system monitoring and control. The solution had to understand voice or text input, resolve common parking issues, and take corrective actions without human intervention. The winning prototype could become the foundation of a scalable solution for urban mobility.
Team “FalcoNS” met the challenge by developing a deterministic AI system that successfully replaces the human operator. Their project offers real-time interaction and automated decisions for parking management. They also introduced a simple LatePay system, based on QR codes and text messages.
HealthTech Challenge | Beden Grup Healthcare Systems & Invitro Diagnostics
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “Viore”
Doctors and medical committees are increasingly overwhelmed by the volume and complexity of patient data, from electronic health records to lab results and diagnostic imaging.
This challenge, proposed by Promedion and InVitro Diagnostics, invited teams to develop an AI-powered module that processes patient data through API integration and delivers decision support insights for clinical assessment and diagnosis.
Team “Viore” created a complete AI assistant for X-ray analysis. Their project uses neural networks to detect anomalies, language models for diagnostic summaries and explanations, and a PDF generation module to create clinician-friendly reports.
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “DreamTeam”
Participants were tasked with designing a smart cybersecurity module for EVO—a tool that helps users detect suspicious files, stay informed on threats, and report incidents in real time. The prototype had to be integration-ready, scalable, and contribute to Moldova’s digital safety.
Team “DreamTeam” responded to the challenge with their EVO Shield solution. This is a privacy-focused cybersecurity module for the EVO application in Moldova. The solution scans files, links, and QR codes, provides real-time cyber alerts, allows for threat reporting, and educates users in simple language, all without storing personal data.
Open Challenge | EU4Innovation East & UMAEF
30 000 MDL
Winner – “Team Rancho”
This challenge was an opportunity for participants to present their own idea and create a solution for any other major problem. Whether in medicine, education, the environment, or any other field, DeepTech GigaHack was the perfect place to make a difference. We encouraged teams to break the mold and explore the horizons of advanced technologies.
Team “Rancho” came up with the DesignerSpace solution—a platform for designers with an intuitive web interface. Here, users can browse generated designs by swiping, use a web scraper to find local materials, and generate design mockups using AI and APIs.
FinTech Challenge | Fineguide.ai & National Bank of Moldova
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “JUAN”
The participants’ mission was to develop a modular, locally adapted NER anonymizer (Romanian-first) that detects and anonymizes personal data in documents. The solution had to align with Moldovan regulations to allow organizations to safely use commercial LLMs.
Team “JUAN” answered the challenge by creating a document anonymization solution. This innovation was designed specifically to protect sensitive data and ensure legal compliance, providing an essential tool for the digital future of the financial sector.
RegTech Challenge I Orange Systems
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “Sudo-ku”
Participants were tasked with designing a smart, easy-to-use digital tool that helps businesses stay cyber-safe and compliant with Moldova’s new Cybersecurity Law. The solution had to simplify complex regulations into clear checks, actionable recommendations, and a simple way to report incidents, turning legal obligations into practical protection.
Team “Sudo-ku” developed the CyberCare project, a digital platform designed to help Moldovan SMEs comply with the Cybersecurity Law No. 48/2023. The solution offers risk assessment, synchronization with compliance lists, real-time updates, and modular guidance, thereby contributing to strengthening the country’s cyber resilience.
AgriFood Challenge I EIT Food
30 000 MDL
Winner – Team “DUTS”
This challenge sought a digital tool that motivates farmers and landowners to proactively share accurate property and livestock data. The solution had to make the process simple, rewarding, and ready for future integration into EU systems like IACS.
Team “DUTS” responded to the challenge by developing a data exchange platform. This platform is designed for small agricultural businesses, primarily farms, and aims to facilitate quick access to essential information and help them make more efficient decisions.
