Bulgaria boasts a rapidly growing economy with a favourable corporate tax climate and a skilled, IT-literate workforce. Government institution InvestBulgaria Agency is rolling out the red carpet to attract foreign direct investment (FDI), with Bulgarian Prime Minister Boyko Borissov and Mr. Emil Karanikolov - Minister of Economy as proactive participants. InvestBulgaria Agency promotes the country as a bridge between Asia, the Middle East and Europe, and offers cost-free assistance to investors in “class-A” project developments. The agency provides potential investors with a network of contacts and a repository of information. It also offers project management support at the pre-investment stage, providing information on FDI incentives and EU funds, site and facility locations, industrial and free zones. Investors also benefit from legal advice, macro-economic data, and company and industry profiles. InvestBulgaria Agency support continues throughout the life of an investment. It assists investors with visa and incentive applications, connects them with key business partners and organises site visits. Its website features a catalogue of development projects; in focus are tourism, urban planning, production, real estate, commerce and innovation. The CFI.co judging panel is impressed, and presents InvestBulgaria Agency with the 2019 award for the Best Investment Promotion Team (Central and Eastern Europe).
