This prestigious role reinforces Mr. Dobrev's commitment to promoting regional development and strengthens Rousse's position within the broader framework of the European Union's Danube Strategy. Mr. Dobrev's re-election comes at a pivotal moment that promises enhanced cooperation in sectors such as investment, business networking, transport and logistics, as well as an expanded role for Ruse in the dynamic Danube macro-region.
Enhanced investment support
A key priority of Mr. Dobrev’s role will be to amplify investment opportunities for the Ruse region, harnessing the resources and network of the DCCF. With Ruse strategically located along the Danube River, it has significant potential to attract both local and international investors looking to capitalize on the region's logistical advantages and industrial growth potential. Through targeted programs under the Danube Strategy, the DCCF can support initiatives that provide financial backing for new projects, enabling Ruse to enhance its infrastructure and economic landscape.
Expanding business cooperation

As a member of the DCCF Supervisory Board, Mr. Dobrev can now further facilitate cross-border collaboration, fostering an environment that encourages business growth and innovation. Through business networking events, information sharing, and coordinated marketing efforts, Ruse is well-positioned to become a hub for regional trade, attracting companies eager to partner with Bulgarian businesses.
Boosting Transportation and Logistics
Transportation and logistics are crucial components of Ruse's strategic role along the Danube. The DCCF, with its focus on connectivity within the Danube Region, aligns with Ruse's development goals in enhancing transport corridors that facilitate trade and reduce transit times. Mr. Dobrev’s continued presence on the Supervisory Board provides an opportunity to advocate for key transport infrastructure improvements that directly benefit Ruse, from enhancing river port facilities to improving road and rail connections to major European hubs. By prioritizing these projects within the Danube Strategy framework, Ruse can advance as one of the leading logistics centres in Southeast Europe.
Opportunities within the Danube Strategy
The Danube Strategy emphasizes sustainable economic and social development, providing regions like Ruse with a favorable framework for prosperity. Mr. Dobrev's re-election ensures that the voices of Ruse businesses and communities will continue to influence the shaping of these strategies. Working closely with the Federation of Danube Chambers of Commerce, the RTIC aims to develop regional initiatives in the field of sustainable development, digital innovation and workforce development, aligning local needs with international standards and EU-wide goals.
In summary, Mr. Dobrev's continued role on the Supervisory Board of the Federation of Danube Chambers of Commerce is a significant opportunity not only for RTIK, but also for Ruse. With a focus on increasing investment, promoting business cooperation and improving transport, this involvement promises to create the conditions for further opportunities for prosperity for Rousse and to strengthen its importance within the dynamic Danube macro-region.
