Dr. Boyko Takov: We See Untapped Potential for Development of Trade and Investment Partnership between Bulgaria and Spain

"There has been no major event in the past ten years to support the establishment of direct business contacts between companies from our two countries, for me and the team of the agency I am leading, it is a great challenge to set up this business delegation. Despite the impressive growth of bilateral trade in excess of 34% in the first half of 2018, we see many untapped opportunities for developing trade and investment partnerships, and they are mostly in further diversification of trade flows between Bulgaria and Spain. " - said Boyko Takov, Executive Director of BSMEPA, in the opening part of the Bulgarian-Spanish Business Forum.

The Business Forum with Bulgaria-Spain Bilateral Meetings is held in Madrid, with 15 Bulgarian companies taking part in it with the assistance of the The Bulgarian Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion Agency. Agency partners from the Spanish side in the organization of the event are organizations with established European and international image - the Confederation of Spanish Entrepreneurship Organizations, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism of Spain.

"We have been very careful to set up the business mission because we believe that this forum can play a key role in the diversification process of bilateral trade. That is why the companies included in the business delegation on the one hand are representatives of traditional Bulgarian export-oriented sectors such as the food industry, textiles and clothing, tourism and, on the other hand, companies from the leading sector of information and communication technologies, construction and architecture. "- added Dr. Boyko Takov after presenting the activity of BSMEPA, which he defines as a worthy partner of the Spanish organizations.
