The Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association (BICA) welcomed more than 400 guests at the official celebration of its 22nd birthday. Among them were representatives of the executive and legislative branches, business, branch, trade union and non-governmental organizations, diplomats and others.

“During these little more than two decades, the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association became not only the voice of the Bulgarian business but it has become a real advocate for the interests of small and large enterprises, public organizations and companies providing services of general interest. I can boldly say that we will continue to participate actively in the process of creating and updating the legal framework in the country and good administrative practices, “said BICA Managing Board Chairman Vasil Velev.

BICA pointed out the priorities for 2019. For the Association one of the main problems faced by the Bulgarian economy – the lack of a skilled labor force for key sectors, the implementation of a reform in the financing of higher education and the inclusion of more business representatives in the definition of plan-adopts for secondary education. The struggle with the gray economy, which has become a trademark of BICA, will also be among the priorities of the most representative employers’ organization in Bulgaria.
