On 30 September, the Hellenic Business Council in Bulgaria had the pleasure of bringing together its members, partners and friends for our Back-to-Business / Member-to-Member event – an evening dedicated to reconnecting after the summer, discovering the businesses behind our community and, most importantly, strengthening the relationships that bring us together.
Hosted at the Suzuki Mirkat showroom in Sofia, the evening welcomed representatives of companies from a wide range of sectors in a warm and informal atmosphere that encouraged conversation, new introductions and meaningful business connections.

Our sincere gratitude goes to Mr. Georgios Papakonstantinou and the entire Mirkat team for welcoming us to their showroom and for their wonderful hospitality.
We would also like to express our warm appreciation to Coca-Cola HBC Bulgaria for once again supporting our event and contributing to the welcoming atmosphere throughout the evening.
It was a particular honour to welcome Mr. Tzanetos Karantzis, Minister Counsellor for Economic and Commercial Affairs at the Embassy of Greece in Sofia, whose presence underlined the strong connection between the Greek business community, its institutional partners and the wider business environment in Bulgaria.
Our Members at the Heart of the Evening
One of the main ideas behind the Member-to-Member format is simple: to give our members the opportunity to know one another better – not only by company name, but through the people, expertise, stories and ideas behind their businesses.
Throughout the evening, our guests had the opportunity to discover more about companies from our growing community, including CarbonSafe, Miko 12 AD, Arsis Global, Georgi Petkov International Law Office, United Milk Company, Anglo-American School of Sofia, Aica Consulting and Robovision.

Their different fields of activity once again demonstrated the diversity of the HBCB network – bringing together expertise from sustainability, manufacturing, legal services, food production, education, consulting, technology and many other areas of business.

We were also delighted to mark a very special milestone for Adecco Bulgaria – 20 years in Bulgaria – and to give our guests the opportunity to learn more about the company and the special benefit prepared for the HBCB community.

Meet Our New Members

One of the most valuable aspects of the Back-to-Business / Member-to-Member format is that the conversation does not have to end when the event does.

More Than Presentations
For us, however, the success of the evening was not measured only by the programme.
It was in the conversations between people who had never met before.
In members discovering possible areas for cooperation.
In familiar faces meeting again after the summer.
And in new guests experiencing the spirit of our community for the first time.

This is exactly what Member-to-Member is about.
The Hellenic Business Council in Bulgaria has always believed that a strong business organisation is built not simply on a list of member companies, but on active relationships, trust, exchange of expertise and a genuine willingness to support one another.
Events like this give those relationships the space to grow.

The evening once again reminded us that some of the most valuable opportunities begin very simply: with a conversation, an introduction and the chance to get to know the people behind a business.
