🚀 What do baby Deinotherium, AR, and Moldova’s creative minds have in common? Two words: Racketa Production.

🎥 Originally a media production company, Racketa has evolved into a true Createch pioneer - blending creativity and technology to push the boundaries of what immersive experiences can be.

They were the first in Moldova to introduce virtual production, and have since built an in-house R&D team that explores everything from real-time CGI to augmented reality.

🦕 One of their standout projects? „Find the Deinotherium” - an AR startup launched at Moldova’s Natural History Museum. Designed for all ages, it transforms static exhibits into an emotional, interactive adventure. Users follow a baby Deinotherium on a journey through ancient fauna, with educational content and intuitive storytelling at every step.

🌍 But Racketa isn’t stopping there. They’re now shaping this experience into a global product for museums and entertainment spaces - while continuing to deliver creative tech solutions for clients in Japan, the USA, the UK, Norway, Romania, and Dubai.

🚀 Racketa Production proves how far creativity can go when paired with tech, and at MITP, we’re proud to support that vision.

În acest episod am discutat cu Alina Malbaș-Rotaru, HR Manager la Addcode Moldova, despre provocările și oportunitățile pe care le întâmpină sectorul IT din perspectiva HR. Am vorbit despre efectele muncii remote, despre ce caută specialiștii IT în 2025, dincolo de salariu, și despre rolul crucial al culturii organizaționale în retenția talentului.

Alina a explicat cum compromisul între salariu și calitate a devenit mai complex, ce înseamnă să atragi tineri în IT prin programe de internship și mentorat, și cât de importantă este alinierea practicilor HR la standardele internaționale pentru echipe care lucrează cu clienți globali. De asemenea, a subliniat transformarea rolului HR din unul administrativ în unul strategic, capabil să contribuie direct la rezultatele companiei.

Vă invităm să urmăriți episodul complet pe Facebook pentru perspective relevante despre piața IT din Moldova și cum se construiește sustenabil o carieră în acest domeniu.

By 2024, 54% of public services were digitalized, and 86.1% of government requests to companies were processed online.

🌟 Technology drives progress across industries. In healthcare, it connects doctors and patients like never before. In Moldova, this innovation is called Doctorchat.

🩺 Doctorchat was born five years ago when physician  Veaceslav  Culev, fresh from a career in a German‑Italian pharmaceutical company, decided to put real specialists at your fingertips. What began as simple chat consultations has grown into a service where you can book video calls or even in-person visits with more than 200 licensed doctors who also practice in clinics and hospitals.

Supported by investors such as Mozaic and a public institution for small businesses, Doctorchat has expanded beyond telemedicine. It now plans B2B services, AI integration, and a version of the app for Romania. 🏥 In a landscape where only about 10 percent of local startups focus on digital health, Doctorchat proves that MedTech in Moldova can thrive.

🕹 Who says you need a museum to experience art? ArtDock paints with pixels and builds worlds you can play in.

🎮 What started as a local investor in Moldova’s dev community is now a game studio with global ambitions. Since 2023, ArtDock has been developing its own titles – and already making waves.

🏆 One of them is Pao Pao, a co-op adventure sandbox that claimed first place out of 800 indie games at Nordic Game Expo 2025 in Sweden. Now available on Steam, the game has been played by over 50,000 players worldwide – and it’s just getting started.

🌍 With interest from international publishers and players across the globe, ArtDock is taking its creations beyond Moldova. Behind the screen is a 30-person team, organized by projects, united by a belief: that great games can connect, inspire, and push creative boundaries.

At MITP, we support teams like ArtDock – where passion meets pixels, and games become stories that travel the world.
