The "Bulgarian Davos” Forum: First meeting of the new government with business

Today, December 14, is the first day of the Webit Foundation's Powers Summit forum. The topics of this year's forum "Bulgarian Davos" are technology, education, finance and healthcare.

This is Kiril Petkov's first public appearance as Prime Minister and the new government's first meeting with business.

"When we create added value, it is not created by the state, it is created by business. Business leaders must work with young scientists, create added value, this added value must create tax revenues that come to the state. We, the politicians, have "Only two tasks - one is that this money does not go in the wrong direction and therefore our call is for zero corruption, and the second - when we spend it, to make sure that it is invested in Bulgaria," said Petkov.

The new government will invest in "education of the future", Petkov said. The other goal is to achieve successful healthcare - in this, in addition to the state, business must play a major role.

"From today on, we must raise the level of vaccination, and my first order will be for everyone in the Council of Ministers to enter the building with a green certificate, and I hope this will happen in all ministries. Do the same in your businesses," he said.

The Minister of Education Nikolay Denkov is expected to speak after 10 am, and later - the Minister of Innovation and Growth Daniel Laurer.
