The director general of the Bundesverband des Deutschen Exporthandels e.V. to exporter.bg about Bulgarian exports and investment opportunities in Bulgaria

Chemical raw materials, electrical engineering and automobile parts are of great importance for exports from Bulgaria to Germany. In addition, the IT sector is also playing an increasingly important role.

NCIZ operates a total of 9 projects across the country with Economic Zone Sofia-Bozhurishte being the most dynamically evolving one.

The successful development of Economic Zone Sofia-Bozhurishte is underpinned by another important feature – a large number of the residing companies sustain high-tech production operations, thus generating tangible high added value.

The free trade zones in Vidin and Ruse, managed by National Company Industrial Zones, offer duty and tax relief to over 70 investors.

The strategic location of the zones is a major advantage to the companies currently operating on their territory. Situated at the cross road of three Pan-European transportation corridors, just meters away from ports on the Danube, the zones provide quick access to key markets within Europe and Asia.

Partnerships of the state-owned industrial zones’ operator with local and regional commercial and investment banks have the potential to further boost the dynamic investment processes in the country.

The main idea is to integrate as many of the services investors need as possible into one package, managed by partnering bodies. The one-stop-shop approach as experts call it saves a great deal of time, money and effort for those investors.
