The time has come for big financial capital to discover Bulgaria as a safe and attractive destination, Behar said at a presentation of the business environment in the country to investment bankers, diplomats and potential investors from hi-tech businesses. The presentation at the investment forum was held jointly with Bulgaria’s Ambassador to Switzerland Meglena Plugchieva.
Detailed presentation of the investment opportunities was also presented with concrete case study, presented by Stephan Muehlemann, Managing Director of Aryxe Group, the main organizer of the Forum and recent investor in Bulgaria.
Behar, who is Board Member of the Bulgarian Business Leaders’ Forum (BBLF), has also described in detail the challenges faced by businesses in Bulgaria, sharing his experience as former chairman of the organization devoted to promoting the principles and values of corporate social responsibility in Bulgaria.
