We are proud to congratulate AmCham Moldova on winning the 2026 ACE Creative Network Award, in recognition of its creativity, forward-thinking approach, and impactful contribution to the ACE community. This achievement celebrates not only an outstanding initiative, but also the power of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge-sharing across the ACE network.
Established in 2014, the ACE Creative Network Award shines a spotlight on innovative projects that strengthen AmChams throughout the network. It celebrates the exchange of ideas, showcases best practices, and encourages the cross-border adoption of initiatives that create value for AmChams and their members.
This year, three AmChams presented their innovative projects:
- AmCham Austria: EmpowerUs | From Access to Impact
- AmCham Moldova: METRIX: Moldovan Economic Transformation and Reform Index
- AmCham Slovakia: Changing the Approach: Bringing Cross-Sectorality
The winner was selected by ACE member AmChams based on three evaluation criteria:
- Value to the AmCham network
- Impact within the respective country
- Adaptability across the AmCham community
AmCham Moldova presented METRIX, its flagship evidence-based advocacy initiative designed to strengthen public-private dialogue and improve economic policymaking through reliable, measurable business intelligence. By transforming business experiences into structured evidence, METRIX bridges the gap between real-world regulatory challenges and public policy, helping ensure that reform priorities are informed by both data and the voice of the business community.
The initiative integrates three complementary components into a unified analytical framework:
- Business Perception Assessment
- Future Policy Forecasting
- Policy Impact Analysis
METRIX aims to establish a permanent, transparent, and replicable framework that transforms evidence into dialogue and dialogue into better public policy. By providing businesses, policymakers, and development partners with a shared evidence base, it supports more predictable regulation, enhanced economic competitiveness, and Moldova’s European integration journey.
The ACE Creative Network Award highlights the value of sharing ideas, learning from one another, and fostering collaboration through innovative initiatives under the #MadeByACE banner.
Congratulations to AmCham Moldova on this well-deserved recognition and for setting an inspiring example for the entire ACE community!
