European industry is entering a new phase, and the EU’s Industrial Deal is opening opportunities for digitalisation, automation, and sustainable production. For Bulgarian companies, this means easier access to financing and faster modernisation. These developments were highlighted at Industry Forward 2025, which emphasized the strategic role of industrial zones. The Industrial and Logistics Park – Burgas stood out as one of Bulgaria’s fastest-growing zones: Phase 1 is nearly fully occupied, while Phase 2 is expanding, supported by a complete logistics network—port, airport, railway, and motorway. The forum made one thing clear: Burgas is not just attracting investors; it is becoming a destination they actively seek out.
