Australian Business in Europe (ABIE)

🌏 Reflecting on a Successful "Beyond Borders" Event! 🌏 We are thrilled to share the success of the recent Bulgarian Australian Business Council (BABC) Cocktail Reception – an evening that truly embodied our theme, "Beyond Borders: Strengthening Australian-Bulgarian Partnerships." A heartfelt thank you to our incredible speakers Pressian Karakostov and Ervin Ivanov, who delivered enlightening presentations and brought invaluable insights to the event. Their contributions left us inspired and engaged. We extend our deepest gratitude to our sponsors, whose support allowed us to showcase Dandelion Hills Australian wines crafted by Elena Brooks and delightful Bulgarian craft beer Кукуряк. These flavors added a special touch, bringing a taste of both nations to our gathering. We were honored to welcome representatives from the Ministry of Economy and Industry of Bulgaria Министерство на икономиката и индустрията-България and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Bulgaria – their presence truly elevated the evening and underscored the significance of international collaboration. An unexpected highlight was a last-minute visit by delegates from the Nigerian Parliament, who mingled with our members and guests. Their engagement added yet another layer to our "Beyond Borders" format, reinforcing the importance of global connections. Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed to the success of this unique event. We look forward to further strengthening the bridges between Bulgaria, Australia, and our global community!
