Media partners of the event are Investor.bg, Bloomberg TV and BTA.
This is the third consecutive discussion of the already established regional forum where participants show how companies contribute to the sustainable development of regions in Bulgaria and explain the role of local authorities in this process, the organizers of the forum said.
The focus this year is on the challenges that businesses and local authorities are facing in the changed economic environment, and on the added value of large, strategic investors for the development of the regions. The topics discussed include economic aspects as well as social initiatives and community development issues.
Among the speakers are Svetla Kostadinova, Executive Director of IME; Radan Kanev, MEP, Rapporteur on the EU Directive on Industrial Emissions; Boyan Rashev, Managing Partner of denkstatt Bulgaria; Dobri Mitrev - Chairman of BIA. Mayors of municipalities, representatives of the executive power and managers of large companies such as Dundee Precious Metals, Aurubis Bulgaria, Geotechmin, Unicredit Bulbank, Assarel-Medet and Electrohold are invited to participate in the discussion.
