Organised since 1998, the CEI Summit Economic Forum is a regional event unique by scale and importance.
It takes place each November on the occasion of the annual CEI Summit of the Heads of Government,
always in a different CEI member country – the one that is holding the CEI Presidency.

This year, the Forum also incorporates another major event – the 5th Moldova International Investment Forum, organised by the Moldovan Investment and Export Promotion Organisation (MIEPO).

The CEI Summit Economic Forum gathers participants coming from a wide range of structures both from the CEI region and beyond. Government officials, industry leaders, businessmen, entrepreneurs, investors, financial institutions, international organisations, investment and trade promotion agencies, representatives of local authorities, bankers, fund managers and business service providers all meet for a common goal: search for tangible opportunities for investment and growth in the CEI Member Countries.
