BSMEPA Exec. Dir. Boyko Takov becomes Board Member of the International Network of SMEs

The Executive Director of BSMEPA Boyko Takov became Board Member of the International Network of Small and Medium Enterprises (INSME). This was announced during the 17th annual meeting of the organization, which took place between 9 and 10 December in Sofia.

The event is hosted by BSMEPA and the Bulgarian Development Bank and during the two days Sofia was the center of a series of sessions dedicated to the future of the global SME sector as an engine for sustainable recovery from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The entry of a representative from BSMEPA as a Board Member of the International Network of SMEs is a big responsibility, as the organization through public-private partnerships, training and exchange of experience and knowledge sets the tone of many strategic and operational guidelines for promoting SMEs and entrepreneurship worldwide. In 2020, when BSMEPA became a full member of the Network, Bulgaria for the first time was given the opportunity to share its experience in promoting business to the largest organization, and my inclusion as a Board Member is a natural continuation of our partnership with the Network and a great opportunity for Bulgarian companies", commented Boyko Takov.

The Executive Director of BSMEPA joins the management after a vote of the members of the International Network within the General Assembly, held within the 17th annual meeting. Among those on the Board are Jay Mitra, a professor at the University of Essex, Nava Swersky Sofer, president of the Canadian-based International Trade Alliance, Dr. Hamsa Thota, founder and president of the US-based Innovation Business Development (IBD) - a company specializing in improving productivity in product innovation, and others.
