The President of BCCI announces the upcoming presentation of the Annual Awards for 2020


Dear partners and friends,

Traditionally, every year on 3rd December, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry bestows its awards for achievements in the Bulgarian economy and for contribution to the implementation of the goals and objectives of the Chamber. This year, we have once again identified the leading companies in several categories based on objective indicators. We also award those who during the year most actively helped us fulfill the mission of BCCI – to protect and support the business community, namely a regional chamber of commerce and a branch organization. We award an ambassador and a foreign commercial representative for contribution to the development of the bilateral economic relations, and a media and a journalist – for objectivity in covering business issues.  

This year, the pandemic caused by the outbreak of COVID-19 put us in new working conditions. BCCI’s team and partners strictly adhere to all epidemiological measures aimed to stop the spread of the coronavirus. In view of the current conditions and in order for the award ceremony to reach the widest possible audience, we are organizing an electronic format for announcing the winning companies and partners. The Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry will prepare a film about the awards which will be broadcasted in mid-December 2020 on all information channels of the Chamber. All of you, our partners, representatives of the business community and colleagues, will be informed about the exact release date of the upcoming film about the BCCI Annual Awards 2020.
