About this good practice
The portal is developed under the Project „Promotion of the internationalisation of the Bulgarian enterprises”, Priority Axis 4 of the OP “Development of the competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy” 2007-2013, under which BSMEPA is an institutional beneficiary. The portal is translated in Bulgarian and in English.
The maintenance of actual information in the different sections, finding offers, preparation of answers for requests received from the country and abroad, as well as consultations helping the business is realized by the expert team of the BSMEPA.
The Portal proposes the following services:
1) Maintenance of a data base with export-oriented Bulgarian enterprises;
2)Access to information and services:
-Companies matchmaking;
-Marketing researches, economic analyses and reports;
-Actual trade and market information from the Bulgarian Commercial and economic offices abroad;
-Promotional events organized under the Project;
-Seminars and Info days;
-Export strategies and policies for the priority economic sectors;
-Funding sources
3) The registered users of the portal receive periodically an Electronic bulletin with information for forthcoming events, results from previous initiatives and information about the companies wishing to participate in trainings, trade missions, fairs, B2B forums. This bulletin saves time for the users, because they don’t need to check the news all the time in the Portal.
