The interest in investing in Bulgaria, unfortunately, is not very big, but it is one of my personal missions to change this, stressed Kamenov In an interview with Bloomberg Bulgaria, the Chairman of Commercial League Tihomir Kamenov said that the Forum has one unique advantage – the spirit of Davos. This is a place for discussing development concepts and creating invaluable informal connections. It is therefore important the country’s Prime Minister to attend, no matter who he/she is, then the level of discussions will be high and much can be achieved for the country. Unfortunately, this hasn’t happened yet. "The participation of Bulgaria is beneficial to the national economy – it is important for our place in the world, for our full integration into the EU, for understanding the new challenges and threats, and mostly – for the people in Bulgaria – because my work as well is mainly in the sector of health and saving people’s lives”, further commented Kamenov. Currently, programs for digitalisation of different sectors are running – this is one of the major tasks for Europe. Another big task is the programs that are being created now. According to Kamenov, it is essential to increase productivity and competitiveness. "There should be support, if you like – public praise for the Bulgarian entrepreneurs, from which new jobs and development are expected." Check out the full conversation here.  ...

The thematic focus of this year's 46th world meeting is "Harnessing the fourth industrial revolution." Central topics will be: How the new industrial revolution will transform various sectors, including healthcare, mobility, financial services and education? How the increased use of technology can contribute to inclusive growth, instead of exacerbating unemployment and social inequality? How the discoveries in science and technology can help in solving global problems such as climate change or public health? How new technologies transform global security? How governments should build institutions capable of making decisions in the context of increasingly complex and rapidly changing challenges? The aim is through the exchange of experience of experts from various economic areas to develop initiatives and activities needed in response to the current dynamic changes associated with the significant political, economic, social and above all technological effects that change our lives, communities and institutions around the world.
