In 2018, BDB supported the fourth edition of the largest training program for start-up companies in Bulgaria – The Founder Institute – Sofia. It is held for four months, during which entrepreneurs are trained how to develop their ideas into a real profitable business.

The most impressive projects go to the final where they present themselves to investors, entrepreneurs, and mentors.

The third training session at The Founder Institute - Sofia (2017-2018) was held with the support of the Micro Financing Institution JOBS, part of the Bulgarian Development Bank Group.

In addition to sponsorship, MFI JOBS provided the opportunity for the most successful, fast-growing companies to borrow money on preferential terms for their business ideas.
