The Development Projects Exhibition presented 31 projects by 16 financial institutions, including the German KfW, the Chinese Development Bank, the Council of Europe Development Bank, the Swedish Kommuninvest, and the Norwegian KBN, among others.

The event was opened by Stoyan Mavrodiev, the Chief Executive Officer of the Bulgarian Development Bank, and Marcel Roy, the Secretary General of the European Association of Public Banks.

The exhibition shows the role and support provided by development banks in Europe and around the world, specific to each country, but still little known in our country.Residents and guests of Sofia saw impressive footage presenting large-scale infrastructure projects, such as the city of innovation in China and the biggest wind farm in the North Sea.

The exhibition also presented another specific mission of development banks – to support micro and start-up businesses.
