Who it is for
Japanese corporations, investors, research institutions and advisers considering Bulgaria or Europe.

A practical seminar connecting Japanese companies with Bulgaria's investment, innovation, research and market-entry opportunities.

Following Bulgaria's accession to the euro area on 1 January 2026, the country offers Japanese investors a combination of euro-area stability, competitive operating costs and highly skilled technical talent. This session covers what that means in practice: the institutions, the legal and tax framework, and the Bulgarian companies behind satellite platforms built at production cadence, semiconductor wafer handling and precision optics.

The session closes with structured matching around qualified requirements. Introductions are made where there is a relevant fit and both sides agree.

Photography and video recording take place at this event. Tell us on arrival if you would rather not be filmed, and we will not publish an identifiable image of you without asking you by name.
