At the invitation of the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (CCIFB) Invest Sofia took part in a two-day event on the occasion of the start of the new business season. The meetings took place on September 14-15, at Grand Hotel Sofia, in the presence of members and partners of the Chamber.
New perspectives, future projects and important topics related to the French-Bulgarian bilateral business relations have been discussed at the event. CCIFB presented its new members, as well as expectations on the business environment in the country by the end of this year and in 2021.
French companies in Bulgaria want to expand their presence in the country. The French business is interested in investments in infrastructure, industry and services. The President of the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce Stephane Delahaye reminded that two new French companies established their presence in Bulgaria – Meridiem investment fund, a 49% participant in the Sof Connect consortium, selected as a 35 + 15 concessionaire at Sofia Airport and the French company BIC that officially launched its global account, HR and software service center in Sofia. Bulgaria should keep its talents and bring Bulgarians abroad back in the country so that French businesses can rely on skilled experts here, Stephane Delahaye also said in his welcome speech.
We would like to thank CCIFB for the opportunity to participate in the meetings.
