In 1898, Ernest Solvay, the famed founder of Belgian industrial conglomerate Solvay, opened the Sofia-based sugar-making plant, Bulgaria's first. With it, he laid the foundations not only of sugar production but also of sugar beet cultivation in Bulgaria. Belgian investors financed the construction of what remains the country's flagship match-making plant in Kostenets. Belgians, again, were majority shareholders and operators of Sofia's first electric and tram companies, as well as of, among other enterprises, a score of banks and leather-production plants. A century later, history repeated itself. Since the early 1990s, both commercial give-and-take and investment flows have grown exponentially. Bulgaria's Economy and Energy Ministry has named Solvay Bulgaria's largest strategic producer for its portfolio of soda, salt and limestone processing assets. Belgium is invariably in the top 10 of Bulgaria's trade partners and investors. Last year it was Bulgaria's ninth-largest trade partner. By size of investments in the period 1996/2005, it ranked sixth.

Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Bulgaria : History The History of the land now known as Bulgaria has been determined by its location between Asia and Europe, by its propinquity to powerful states competing for land and determine at the junction of trade routes and strategic military positions, and by the strong national territorial drive of various Bulgarian states. Before the Christian era, Greece and Rome defeated the region and left substantial impressions on the culture of the people they found there. The Bulgar tribes, who arrived in the seventh century from west of the Urals, have occupied the region continuously for thirteen centuries. Over time Bulgarian culture merged with that of the more numerous Slavs, who had preceded the Bulgars by one century. After converting to Christianity and acquired a Slavic language in the 9th century, the Bulgarians consolidated a distinct Slavic culture that consequently passed through times of both developmentist freedom and subordination to outside political systems. From the 9th until the 14th century, Bulgaria was a controlling force in the Balkans because of its aggressive military tradition and strong sense of national identity. The chief rival and neighbor, the Byzantine Empire, left a lasting political impression on two Bulgarian empires as it competed with them for regional domination. Marking the declension of both the Byzantine and the Bulgarian political structures, the fall of Istanbul to the Ottoman Turks in 1453 began four centuries of Turkish suppression of Bulgarian cultural and political institutions.
