Did you know?

Nikola Yonkov Vaptsarov. He was born in Bansko and trained as a Machine Engineer at the Naval Machinery School in Varna, (this school was later named after him.) Vaptsarov idealized the Communist ideas and took an active part in its movement. He was arrested in 1940 for his involvement in the so-called “Sobolev Action.” He was arrested again in 1942 for organizing the supply of guns and documents for a communist resistance and was sentenced to death and executed on 23 July 1942.

We are happy to announce an amazing new partnership we are launching with The Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Българска търговско-промишлена палата (БТПП)!

Our mission with #OpenSofia (and soon #OpenBulgaria 😉 ) is to not only welcome and support the international family living in this country, but also to establish connections with and between key organizations in Bulgaria.

We are excited and humbled to have such partners aboard!

One of the BCCI's great initiatives you can participate in this week is a training “How to find a job in Bulgaria” 💼
