Representatives of seven Balkan countries take part in the Balkan Business Forum organized by the Bulgarian-Turkish Chamber of Commerce and Industry here on Saturday. The Forum brings together for the fourth consecutive year entrepreneurs, representatives of institutions and investors. This year's edition is dedicated to strategic dialogue, innovation-driven growth and value-added business-to-business partnerships.
In his welcome speech at the start of the Forum, the owner of Regnum Bulgaria, Ufuk Ozturk, reported that Regnum is active in four areas – energy, fuel transportation, renewable energy, and hospitality and real estate. It has been operating in Bulgaria since 2000 and is looking to expand its operations in other Balkan countries as well.
Turkish-Bulgarian Business Council Chair Mustafa Zeki Saribekir said that Bulgaria's full Schengen membership means that Sofia and Paris are virtually equal. He added: "Thanks to Bulgaria we can go to Europe. I also invite Bulgarian companies to use Turkiye to enter the Eastern market."
Bansko Deputy Mayor Sashka Vachkova said: "The Balkan Business Forum has a growing participation, reflecting both the cultural and historical diversity of the Balkan Peninsula and the rapidly changing reality." She added that the potential for cooperation of the Balkan countries in areas such as innovation, technology, trade, energy, logistics, which are the focus of this year's forum, is huge.
The Balkan Business Forum is held under the slogan “The Balkans: An economic bridge between East and West”. Representatives from Bulgaria, Turkiye, Romania, Greece, Albania, the Republic of North Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia are taking part in it.
The Forum is organized in partnership with the Foreign Economic Relations Board of Turkey – DEIK / Turkey-Bulgaria Business Council, Bulgarian Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion Agency, InvestBulgaria Agency, Commercial Section of the Turkish Embassy in Sofia, Bulgarian-Romanian Chamber of Commerce, Bulgarian-Albanian Chamber of Commerce, Bulgarian-Macedonian Chamber of Commerce.
