Sofia – The goal is to increase the market share in Bulgaria and Eastern Europe of small and medium-sized Italian companies active in the construction sector. A follow-up mission, which began last Monday and ends today in Sofia, saw the presence of the president of the Nazional Construction Association International SMEs Group, Gerardo Bianci. During the mission Bianci, together with the president of Confindustria Bulgaria, Pietro Luigi Ghia, met with representatives of the government and local construction companies so as to support partnerships between Italian and Bulgarian companies. The results may end up being particularly important, as Bulgaria connects much of its future growth to the use of EU Funds for the completion of its infrastructure networks. (9Colonne)
