market opportunities per sub sector


For the identification of market opportunities following sub sectors have been covered:



  • Freight transport.

  • Public passenger transport.

  • Transport by mode; air, water, road, and rail.

  • Public works and water management.

  • Telecommunication, postal services, information and communication technology.

Criteria for the assessment of market opportunities for Dutch enterprises:




  • There is a need for (additional) technology and know how, which the Dutch industry can supply.

  • The Netherlands should have an international competitive advantage (Competitive edge) in this technology or market.

  • Investments from the Dutch enterprise are likely and most probably effective.

  • There should like to be a promising spin-off for other enterprises.

  • There is likely to be a growing market (potential), not or hardly depending on Government budgets or spending.

  • Projects in this sector should be able fit within the PSO+ framework and meet the PSO+ criteria and requirements.


Identification and assessment of market opportunities in Bulgaria

Based on the criteria mentioned above an assessment has been made of the different sub sectors for possible PSO+ projects.


This does not necessarily mean there are no sound business opportunities in the sub sectors indicated as “no key area” for PSO+. In some sectors the level of investment required is very high, whereas it appears difficult to develop a pilot project. In some sectors Dutch supply or interest is inadequate or not available (e.g. public transport operations). In other sectors the supply will have a one-off character (tender system), and durable business relations will be unlikely.

Business opportunities / project ideas identified for Dutch enterprises
In spite of the fact that government influence and interference in the market economy is still present in Bulgaria, the ongoing privatisation of the industrial sectors in combination with the huge market potential offers increasingly sound business opportunities.
The PSO programme for Bulgaria is and will prove to be very effective in view of the stage of economic and institutional development of the country. The sectors transport, in particular road transport, road infrastructure as well as agricultural production and distribution offer many opportunities to Dutch enterprises, which we have summarised below more specifically.
It should be noted that project ideas as listed below do not necessarily qualify as PSO+ project.
