The possibilities of attracting Greek investments in the construction of renewable energy sources (RES) near industrial zones in our country and in energy storage facilities, as well as for expanding trade in petroleum products, were discussed during meetings in Thessaloniki of the Minister of Economy Bogdan Bogdanov with key Greek investors, the department he heads announced.
This happened within the framework of the 87th Thessaloniki International Fair, of which Bulgaria is the guest of honor this year. The exhibition was visited by a government delegation led by Prime Minister Nikolay Denkov and accompanied by 60 Bulgarian companies and organizations from various sectors.
“Our presence at this important international forum provides wide opportunities and prospects for the development of cooperation in a number of areas,” said the minister. He recalled that the main focus of the Bulgarian participation in the Thessaloniki fair is high technology, innovation and education, but also that companies in sectors such as energy, trade, logistics and construction are also presented at the exhibition.
During the meetings with the Greek business, it also became clear that new investments will be made in commercial parks, as well as in the opening of new commercial outlets in Bulgaria for Greek companies, which is a prerequisite for creating new jobs.
Bogdanov discussed the possibilities for deepening cooperation in the field of innovation with representatives of Alexander Innovation Zone SA – the planning and management body of a Greek government project to turn Thessaloniki into an innovation zone.
Within the framework of the fair, two new projects were announced – the first cargo flights of the Bulgarian company “Dronamix” on the Greek market and the new Endurosat program for launching a satellite constellation into a low orbit, which will provide huge opportunities for the development of new technologies for security, surveillance of the environment and early prevention of disasters and accidents.
Greece is the third largest source of foreign direct investment in Bulgaria for 2023. Since the beginning of this year alone, Greek companies have invested 300 million euros in Bulgaria, according to the Ministry of Economy.
