For the second consecutive year, GEOTRADING is the General Sponsor of the “20 Under 20” initiative, launched by the U.S. Ambassador’s Youth Council Bulgaria (USYC) and CAPITAL. The company’s support encourages young people to fulfil their potential and build their future in Bulgaria.
GEOTRADING’s support is rooted in the vision of Ivan Vutov, PhD Eng., to identify and encourage promising young people at an early stage. This vision is brought to life through various initiatives implemented in cooperation with youth organisations and universities.
Rumyana Ivanova, Executive Director of GEOTRADING, served as a member of the jury that evaluated the nominees and selected the outstanding young talents.
This year’s edition also featured the panel discussion “The Retention Code: What Does Young Talent Need to Stay?”. GEOTRADING was represented by Joana Indzhova, Director of PR, Marketing and Corporate Culture. During the discussion, moderated by Ivaylo Stanchev, Editor-in-Chief of CAPITAL, she emphasised the importance of identifying potential early, strengthening the connection between education and business, and giving young people the opportunity to experience a real working environment while they are still studying.
This approach is embedded in GEOTRADING’s own practices. The company recruits young professionals and encourages them to work alongside experienced colleagues. This allows accumulated knowledge to be passed on to the next generation, while the fresh perspective of younger team members enriches both the teams and their working processes.
GEOTRADING actively seeks to identify talent at universities and creates opportunities for early professional exposure and development. The company aims to make its workplace a learning environment for young professionals—a place where they can gain practical knowledge, develop their personal and professional qualities, and freely discover the career path that is right for them.
With more than two decades of experience in the market, GEOTRADING recognises its responsibility to develop future professionals and pass on its values and practical expertise to the next generations in its sector. Supporting “20 Under 20” is part of this commitment to young talent and to creating opportunities for young people to build their future in Bulgaria.
