40 member cities took part in the Business Mixer project. The aim of the new UBC publication, published upon the initiative of the UBC Secretariat in February this year, was to encourage the business environment of the UBC members to effectively use the Union as an economic forum of making new contacts, establishing partnerships, initiating common projects. It contains an interesting and up-to-date material concerning economic profile of each city, investing opportunities, contact details to the city's departments, responsible for entrepreneurship and development, and to the organisations supporting business, etc. Thus, the business circles received one more opportunity to "mix" with the local authorities to make their cooperation more dynamic and fruitful. This publication can serve as a useful directory for those who are seeking partners and areas to develop their companies.

The UBC Business Mixer has been published in 6.000 copies and spread out among all members, regional and European organisations, and business institutions.
