Promoting entrepreneurship
Promotion of entrepreneurship and support for persons wishing to start their own business
We recognize the social impact of entrepreneurship and its contribution to job creation and improved socio-economic development in Bulgaria.
We believe that entrepreneurship is the key to fighting poverty in Bulgaria, as one of the member states with the highest risk of poverty in the EU – over 40% of the population, according to a 2017 Eurostat survey.
Therefore, one of the three main objectives of the association is to provide free training and free advice to citizens to start and develop their own business. Priority is given to persons with no previous commercial experience and from vulnerable social groups – minority groups, women, socially disadvantaged.
"If you have a little money, start a business. If you have no money at all, you should start a business right away."
John Rockefeller
