On 15 December, the German-Azerbaijani Chamber of Commerce (AHK Azerbaijan) and the Plovdiv Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PCCI) organised a kick-off meeting to discuss the details of the “From Grape to Trade: Building synergies between Bulgarian and Azerbaijani wine exporters” project. This project aims to contribute to the development of bilateral and multilateral partnerships in the wine sector by providing the SMEs with an opportunity to showcase their businesses to the EU and Azerbaijani counterparts and institutions.
The preliminary agenda of the project includes virtual pairing and pre-delegation workshops for wine companies to be held on 1-3 February 2022. Moreover, within the framework of the project, the Azerbaijani wine exporters will have a chance to present their products during a 3-day study visit to Bulgaria and its rural areas. This will also include the VINARIA in Plovdiv/Bulgaria on 23-25 February 2022 - the largest exhibition of the wine industry in the Balkans with more than 110 exhibitors and 42.000 visitors each year. Following this, on 14-16 March 2022, Azerbaijan will host the 1st EUAzerbaijan Wine Summit within the framework of a 3-day study visit of Bulgarian companies along the Azerbaijani Wine Route.
The activities envisage mutual working visits in both countries to groups of 8 beneficiaries, including wine exporters and organisations supporting wine producers, as well as online thematic seminars prepared together with the industry experts.
The project “From Grape to Trade: Building synergies between Bulgarian and Azerbaijani wine exporters” is funded by the European Union's EU4Business: Connecting Companies (EU4BCC) initiative, which is managed by EUROCHAMBRES.
