For Dutch and Belgian entrepreneurs eyeing cost-effective yet strategic office locations in Europe, Plovdiv is quickly becoming a name to know. Recent research from Colliers International confirms the city’s upward trajectory as a regional business hub with significant advantages for foreign companies.
Strong Growth in Modern Office Space
Plovdiv now boasts over 237,000 m² of Class A and B office space, with an additional 58,000 m² under construction. This growth is being driven by steady demand from IT firms, outsourcing companies, financial services, and business process operations (BPOs)—many of which are foreign-owned.
The vacancy rate has dropped to just 9.8%, indicating a healthy, dynamic market and a strong appetite for modern, functional workspaces.
Attractive Rental Conditions
Class A office rents in Plovdiv average €10 per m² per month—a compelling price point compared to major cities in Western Europe, while offering access to skilled talent, stable infrastructure, and EU-level compliance.
For entrepreneurs from the Netherlands and Belgium, this means an opportunity to:
- Set up nearshore back offices at a fraction of home-country costs
- Access a pool of multilingual and tech-savvy professionals
- Benefit from Bulgaria’s 10% corporate tax rate
- Operate from an EU location with access to Balkan and Eastern markets
