Bulgaria in Bloom 🇧🇬
Bulgaria is emerging as a vibrant business hub in Southeast Europe, offering Utah companies unique growth opportunities. Not only is Bulgaria the world’s leading producer of rose oil, covering 85% of the global supply — including sourcing for Utah’s own doTERRA — but the country is also rooted in a rich agricultural heritage that supports its expanding economy. Beyond agriculture, Bulgaria is growing in sectors like technology, industrial manufacturing, and mining.
Join us on November 14 for a luncheon with Bulgarian Ambassador Georgi Panayotov. Utah businesses will have an opportunity to forge connections and gain valuable insights into Bulgaria’s evolving economy, favorable business climate, and emerging sectors. Don’t miss this chance to see firsthand how your business can bloom on a global scale with Bulgaria.
This event is hosted in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity, the Salt Lake Chamber, and doTERRA.
