AICB will always follow the direction of development set by the ten thousand members of the association
The association welcomed over 750 guests on its 27th birthday
27 years ago on this date, 49 companies founded the Association of Industrial Capital in Bulgaria. Today AICB unites more than 10,000 enterprises with more than 500,000 workers and employees and more than 100 branch organizations. We represent over ¾ of the economic activities in Bulgaria, which makes us the most representative business organization. Therefore, we allow ourselves to claim that what is good for AICB is good for our country. With these words, the Chairman of the Board of AICB Vasil Velev welcomed over 750 people to the official reception of the association's 27th birthday.
"We live in complex times, the climate is changing. Not only is our nature changing, but the international and business climates are also undergoing major changes. It is very important not to lose direction and orientation. For us, these are the common priorities and interests of our members. Despite the continued double-digit decline in the industry, I believe we will pass this test. It is important to keep people in the enterprises, even at the expense of profits and investments", added Vasil Velev.
