Innovation, vocational education and future skills at the heart of the initiative
On 5 November 2026, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria (CCIB) participated in the National Forum “Skills Panorama 2026 – Traditional Professions Meet the Professions of the Future”, held at Arena Asarel in Panagyurishte.
The event was organised by the Human Resources Development Centre (HRDC), in partnership with Panagyurishte Municipality, the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association (BICA) and Teach for Bulgaria.
The Forum brought together over 300 participants, 33 schools and more than 50 exhibition stands, providing an important platform for dialogue among institutions, businesses, educational organisations and young people from across Bulgaria.
Discussions focused on key topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, digitalisation and the transformation of the labour market, highlighting the importance of strengthening cooperation between education, vocational training and the business community.
Through its dedicated exhibition stand, the Chamber presented its activities and European initiatives, including the Erasmus+ VR4T – Virtual Reality for Tourism project, in which CCIB is a partner, aimed at developing digital skills and promoting the use of immersive technologies in vocational education and training within the tourism sector.
The event also offered a valuable opportunity to meet numerous students, enthusiastic, motivated and full of ideas, eager to discover new educational and professional opportunities.
CCIB extends its sincere thanks to the organisers for this valuable initiative and reaffirms its commitment to strengthening cooperation between Italy and Bulgaria, supporting innovation, skills development and closer connections between education and business.
