Why South Eastern Europe?

Did you know that the picture was taken in Sofia, Bulgaria? South Eastern European markets have emerged!

The dynamic Balkans with stunning nature between the Adriatic and the Black Sea, is home to 35 million inhabitants. Emerging markets, attractive investment conditions, optimal conditions for renewable energies, and a young and well-educated workforce have already convinced around 6,000 German companies to establish a presence.

Near-Shoring made easy – South Eastern Europe offers many opportunities

The region offers optimal conditions for foreign companies: A young bilingual population with English as the first foreign language and more and more schools teaching German provide numerous well-educated workers. Additionally, the diverse region offers opportunities for numerous industries:

  • Serbia is the third-largest producer of raspberries and has already established industrial sectors
  • Albania is a trusted textile manufacturer for Italian fashion houses
  • Bosnia and Herzegovina stands out as a leading furniture producer in the region
  • North Macedonia has a growing presence in manufacturing with its automotive suppliers and dedicated industrial zones
  • Kosovo is developing into an emerging IT hub
  • Greece has had a strong focus on renewable energies for years
  • Bulgaria has, for example, a strong pharmaceutical and cosmetics industrial sector

The region has a lot to offer. Positive economic and political developments multiply South Eastern Europe’s potential: Greece was even announced the most successful economy by "The Economist" for the second year in a row in 2023. The economic opportunities also benefit from short delivery routes, thanks to direct proximity to the EU or even EU membership as well as countless infrastructure projects to further improve delivery routes.

Renewable energies are also gaining more and more relevance. The numerous sunny days and strong winds in coastal regions offer huge potential. Hence, the region sees development potential in the role as an energy exporter. We are proud to directly support the energy transition on site with our group's first own solar park in Kosovo.
