Abstract
Innovation in action: transferring the benefits of the Juncker Plan / EFSI to Bulgarian SME & corporate customers
– Innovation is a necessary, desirable but also a risky process.
– We are well placed to exchange with our customers on innovation. We are as financial industry confronted with many of the challenges that also our customers are facing.
– For companies in a country in economic transformation, cash and savings buffers are lower and technology leaps are higher than in more mature markets.
– Therefore we champion the usage of the European Financial Instruments of the Juncker plan. They support innovative and fast growing companies to invest in their future at attractive financial conditions.
