Gabrovo is the geographical heart of Bulgaria, and the increased rate of its beat is a result of the restless spirit of its citizens - enterprising, witty, thirsty for knowledge, frugal and creative. It is said that when the world starts talking, about something new, it is already being done in Gabrovo Our inexhaustible sense of humour and our instinct for "how to make something out of nothing" are our brand for the world. Radoy Ralin wrote of the Gabrovo people: "They have never been Columbuses or Magellans because geographical discoveries are a risky business. There are no Gabrovian Edisons and Marconis because experiments are not dirt-cheap. There are no Van Goghs or Picasos for no art is valued at the time of its creation. The people of Gabrovo are discoverers, inventors, and innovators in the field of IDEAS! And more specifically – in the science of economy”.
