Events Programme 2026:
Our upcoming calendar features a diverse range of strategic initiatives designed to bridge the Bulgarian and British business ecosystems. We are proud to host specialized Thematic Bootcamps focusing on Cyber Security and Fintech, alongside high-level networking opportunities like our Summer and Winter Receptions at the Bulgarian Embassy in London.
For companies looking to expand their physical footprint, our program includes a dedicated Trade Mission to London Tech Week, the Invest in Bulgaria Forum, and a regional Transport & Logistics Trade Mission to Hull and Liverpool, complemented by a celebratory Bulgarian Community Day in the capital.
Thematic Scale-up Bootcamps
Breaking into the British market requires more than just a great product; it demands localised strategy, the right network, and a deep understanding of one of the world’s most competitive business ecosystems.
Our Thematic Bootcamps are specifically designed to bridge the gap between Bulgarian innovation and British opportunity. We offer these intensive programmes free of charge for high-potential Bulgarian scale-ups ready to take the next leap.
Success Stories
Our success is defined by the growth of the businesses we support. This gallery showcases Bulgarian innovators who have successfully scaled in the UK and British enterprises that have found a home in the Bulgarian market. From navigating first-market entries to securing major investment, these stories serve as a roadmap and inspiration for the next wave of cross-border entrepreneurs. We don’t just share milestones; we celebrate the resilience and collaboration that make the Bulgarian-British business corridor thrive.
