The first day of "Business meets culture" together we will have the opportunity to visit a company.
According to tradition, company visits are made at every JCI international conference, where the owner or the manager of the company tells about the company's success story, what plans they have for the future, what challenges they faced in order to develop the company. This year we will visit a company that is symbol of the country - Bio fresh.
The main activity of Bio Fresh is production and sale of cosmetic products.
While focusing on cosmetic products, based on naturally-derived ingredients, they offer a broad variety of lines, targeted towards the needs of the different consumer segments – from the consumers with highest demands to innovations to those seeking the best value.
With more than 500 products in its portfolio, in 2017 Bio Fresh headed the Top 10 list of Bulgarian skincare producers published by the reputable economic journal Capital.
In 2015, Bio Fresh was awarded the Strategic Investor for Plovdiv Region Award. The reason for the award was the company's new highly energy-efficient production facility worth BGN 8.5 million, the installed automatic warehouse and the opening of new jobs in the Plovdiv region.
City landmark prepared a journey on the last day of the 3-day conference “Business meets culture”. A special adventure in the heart of the European capital of culture 2019 - the Old town of Plovdiv.
You will embark on an adventurous experience, finding interesting places, solving riddles and puzzles about curious historical facts and figures, you will complete various challenges, in the search of the secret message.
