The III Business Forum “Strengthening Economic Ties between Bulgaria, Turkey and Romania” is fast approaching. Organized by the Executive Agency for the Promotion of Small and Medium Enterprises (BSMEPA) in partnership with the Bulgarian- Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BULTISAD) and the Bulgarian- Romanian Chamber of Commerce, the event aims to foster stronger economic cooperation between the three countries.

For the third year in a row, the International Congress Center Burgas (ICCB) will serve as the venue for the forum. This year`s edition will have an expanded scope, welcoming Romanian businesses from various industries. The participation of the Bulgarian- Romanian Chamber of Commerce members is expected to strengthen regional trade links and open up new business opportunities for Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises.

The event will be officially opened by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Innovation and Growth, Mr. Tomislav Donchev, with additional welcome speeches from key officials. The program includes panel discussions featuring industry leaders in investment, e-commerce, logistics and the development of economic and trade relations in the Black Sea region, among other key topics.

A key highlight of the forum will be the presentation of the “BrakingGrounds” initiative, which brings together businesses, media and government institutions to support Bulgarian startups and tech companies. The initiative aims to raise awareness of its mission and create more opportunities for growth and collaboration.

The forum`s main objectives are to facilitate business networking, encourage the establishment of strategic partnerships and address challenges and opportunities for strengthening the local business ecosystem to boost global competitiveness.
