A meeting with the newly appointed Head of the Trade and Economic Affairs Office (TEAO) in Lisbon highlights new opportunities for bilateral investments.

The management of Invest Bulgaria Agency (IBA) held a working meeting with Mrs. Anna Georgieva, who is taking on the position of Head of the Trade and Economic Affairs Office (TEAO) of the Republic of Bulgaria in Lisbon.

During the meeting, the current state and development potential of bilateral investment and trade-economic relations between Bulgaria and Portugal were discussed.

Mrs. Georgieva emphasized that the two countries share a similar economic profile, investment policy, and business culture, which provides a solid foundation for more active partnerships between Bulgarian and Portuguese companies. Particular emphasis was placed on the need for a more targeted presentation of Bulgaria’s investment opportunities to the Portuguese business community.

On behalf of IBA, readiness was expressed for active support through the provision of up-to-date presentations, analytical materials, and information on the country’s investment potential, as well as through the organization of online meetings and consultations with potential investors and partners.

The meeting confirmed the shared intention for closer institutional cooperation and for the renewal and expansion of the bilateral investment dialogue between Bulgaria and Portugal in the context of the new mandate of the TEAO in Lisbon.
