For the third successive year, International Fair Plovdiv organizes the Business Consulting event within the framework of the International Spring Fair.

After the EU accession, Bulgarian companies face the challenge to operate under the conditions of intense competition, more dynamic markets and higher standards. In the context of this new environment, businesses have to find out the mechanisms for the fastest possible integration in the developed economies of the European countries, and Bulgaria has to catch up with them in terms of infrastructure and standard of living.

Consulting companies, which provide models and tools to facilitate the optimization of business performance and the implementation of various projects, play an important role in this process.

To present the entire range of consulting services, the organizers have invited for participation in the event companies operating in the field of financing and taxation, human resources recruitment and training, risk assessment, legal advising, investment and business planning, market research, public relations, certification under ISO and other international standards. The participants are given the opportunity to:

• demonstrate to businesses and municipal authorities effective solutions for project preparation and management;
• present to trade visitors options for business management optimization;
• offer complete service packages for Bulgarian and foreign investors;
• show the strong points of the company's activities.

Managers receive professional assistance from the participating experts in specific business problems and tasks. The presence of different consulting companies facilitates the choice of the right partner. The event facilitates entrepreneurs to:

• find the right prescription for specific problem;
• identify the hot points and build a business advancement model;
• develop profitable projects and funding.

The representatives of the regional and local authorities can benefit from the Business Consulting event by finding experts to help them in the development of competitive projects and apply for EU funding.
