Deputy Mayor Pavel Popov suggested that Dutch musicians be invited to the jubilee edition of the International Music Festival “Varna Summer” in 2026, when the forum will celebrate its 100th anniversary. The possibility of student exchange between Varna and Dutch universities was also discussed.
His Excellency Simon van der Burg introduced Deputy Mayor Popov to the representatives of a Bulgarian outsourcing company that has successfully established itself in the Netherlands in the field of innovation, business services and technology. The company also has a representative office in Varna and for years it has been successfully cooperating with the Varna Mathematical High School “Dr. Petar Beron”, which prepares personnel specifically for the IT field.
We are proud of the Mathematics High School and we want to provide an opportunity for young specialists to stay and find employment in Varna after graduation, said Pavel Popov. In connection with the accelerated development of Varna as a technological city, he also pointed out the possibilities for cooperation with other universities in the city. Until now, the company has partnered with the University of Economics, where they organize the so-called IT Master Class.
This is the third visit of Ambassador Simon van der Burgh to Varna after his appointment to Bulgaria in 2021.
