.eu spotlights Bulgaria during October and November
In Sofia: Webit Congress, OpenFest and BGSite Competition
Brussels, 18 October 2011 – To raise .eu visibility in Bulgaria, the .eu registry, EURid, is attending the Webit Congress 2011 trade fair in Sofia (26-27 October) and sponsoring both the OpenFest and BGSite Competition events during November.
In Bulgaria, .eu registrations grew by 41% in the year to Q2 2011 and there are currently more than 20 000 .eu domain names registered to Bulgarian businesses, organisations and individuals. The .eu extension is ideally suited for businesses with cross-border operations by enabling companies to express the fact that they are open for business in other European Union markets.
