Businesses from Stara Zagora have the opportunity to showcase their products, technologies and innovative solutions at one of the leading international industrial exhibitions—GLOBAL INDUSTRIE 2027, taking place from 15 to 18 March 2027 in Lyon, France.
The Bulgarian Small and Medium Enterprises Promotion Agency (BSMEPA) is organising a national stand where Bulgarian companies can present their manufacturing capabilities, establish new international business contacts and explore opportunities to expand into foreign markets.
GLOBAL INDUSTRIE is one of Europe’s major events for industry, mechanical engineering, industrial equipment and subcontracting. The exhibition brings together manufacturers, suppliers, technology companies and representatives of various industrial sectors, offering opportunities to exchange expertise, showcase new technologies and build long-term partnerships.
Key themes of the upcoming edition include industrial automation, robotics, the modernisation of production processes, energy efficiency, sustainability and improving business competitiveness.
Participation Opportunities and Financial Support
Participation by Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises is organised by BSMEPA with financial support from the “Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises” Programme 2021–2027, co-financed by the European Union.
The Agency fully or partially covers the costs of exhibition space, construction and equipment of the national stand, registration fees and other organisational activities, in accordance with the participation terms. Enterprises taking part in a promotional event under the relevant project for the first time are not required to provide co-financing for the costs covered by the Agency.
Stara Zagora Municipality encourages local businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to gain international exposure and expand their business networks.
