Startup in Bulgaria

Did you know that according to Forbes among the top 10 cities around the world to launch your startup business is Sofia, Bulgaria?

Behind the blare of Berlin, Beijing, Moscow, and London, the Bulgarian start-up scene is set to become a center for seed investment and startups in southeast Europe. It is due to the fast speed internet and low taxes.

A total of 32 Bulgarian companies compete in the FINALS of the Central European Startup Awards (CESAwards 2017), which aims to distinguish the best businesses in the region. The competition deadline for voting for local winners among the finalists announced on the CESAwards website expired on August 23. At the local level, the initiative is led by the Association of Bulgarian Leaders and Entrepreneurs (ABLE).

On the other hand, Bulgaria is considered as one of the most favorable countries in Europe for investment opportunities and investment projects. Here are some interesting facts that might make every investor choose Bulgaria to invest:
