The keynote address was delivered by Christo Iliev, CEO and founder of AG Capital, who welcomed the attendees and presented an overview of the excellent results accomplished in 2024, entitled “A Year of Sustainable Growth”. He spoke on the business goals set before AG Capital’s companies and their remarkable achievements, our growing success in terms of assets under management and outlined recently completed and upcoming projects.
