A joint Bulgarian-Chinese company will manage the future industrial zone near the village of Bozhourishte, close to Sofia, the Bulgarian Economy Ministry said on September 13.

The documents which will facilitate its creation are due to be prepared by the beginning of October, according to Deputy Economy Minister Evgeni Angelov. According to the report, Chinese specialists are invited to participate in the creation of the industrial zone.

The future industrial complex will be perched on an area surpassing 200ha over the former military airport near Bozhourishte which was allotted to the National Industrial Zones Co (NIZC), Dnevnik daily reported. Accordingly, NIZC will be tasked with the construction of the infrastructure network around the zone, while the industrial complex itself will be used for technical manufacturing.

According to the report, one third of the zone will be allocated to Chinese companies.

Bozhourishte, a village north west of Sofia, is transforming into an industrial hub. In May this year, Schenker launched its new logistics terminal in the area. The complex, which is in Bozhourishte, near Sofia, is close to the international road linking Sofia and Belgrade, just 20 minutes from the centre of the capital.

The new Schenker facility is a 10-million euro complex, spanning more than 48 000 sq m of land, with a logistics warehouse of 3000 sq m, an office complex of 3500 sq m, a 2000 sq m cross-docking hall, both equipped with 30 loading bays with hydraulic ramps.
