Lost in Plovdiv

In recent years, Plovdiv became city with good investment climate. We became an attractive outsourcing destination. We provide IT industry. Mobile operators also stared sight in the city under the hills. Call centers serve not only foreign companies. We shine in the tourist charts in Europe and overseas. The city is an incubator for startup businesses. Computer nomads like us. We got our first art district of creative industries, the number of co-working spaces continue to increase. We have modern philosophes spreading the ideas of social capital. Former guest workers abroad are returning under the hills with new creative ideas and boutique ventures…

More and more people from Sofia pack their bags and leave the capital.

Gastronomy is also evolving with a vengeance. There is homemade food stalking you everywhere. Gourmet kitchen chase Europe's top restaurants at a frantic pace. Lots of chefs returned from abroad. Italians are preparing pasta in front your own eyes, Turkish professionals tempt with imambaylda and baklava and next to them in broken Bulgarian, Serbian talks about pleskavitsa. French macaroons are with the colors of the rainbow while the crème brulee turns into gold in front of the costumers.

This is the microclimate in the second Bulgarian town.

Those are the stories that we began telling you in 2017.

We presented you Maya and Peter, who spread the culinary culture of the French macaroons. She returned from abroad and he from it the capital.

We told you about My place burger bar - little establishment which offers some of the best gourmet burgers in town. They stand out with healthy ingredients and recipes from global level.

We shared information about construction company "Mai-Group" which took in its own hand the construction of platform Besica. The owner Miroslav Iliev is also a patron supporting native culture and spiritual development.

Not one we’ve led you to Limacon - the first center for social capital in the city which is developed by man from Pleven who left Germany to live in Plovdiv.

We will continue telling you similar examples.

Lost in Plovdiv like to support social causes and initiatives which strengthen our civil society and the inherent democratic values. We like telling stories how a person can fascinate dozens with his work and inspire them to put something personal in everything they do. And we like this new wave because it’s from the people to the people despite the realities of the international situation, geographical region and political division.

Expect stories of micro, small, medium, large and giants in business under the hills.
