A direction for Bulgaria, shaped by experts with vision
We bring together academic, expert, business and civic capacity around solutions with a long-term horizon.
Our mission
Strategic thought in the public interest
The National Council is an independent expert, public and strategic platform that creates a space where professional experience, knowledge and civic responsibility become a consistent direction for Bulgaria.
