In 2014 Bulgaria entered its second programming period (2014-2020) which opened a new stage in the development of project management in our country. Project-oriented companies are entering a new stage in which based on experience and increased design capacity they will develop their potential and will accelerate growth. This poses new challenges for science and business to identify strategic opportunities and formulation of project objectives, programs and portfolios of projects that will increase the competitive potential of companies and the economy as a whole. This article is an expression of the shared responsibility of science to develop the scientific front to solve methodologically difficult and practically new tasks that are derived from the needs to increase the competitive potential of the business-based project approach. The main objective of this study is based on the systematization of the results of theoretical research and development of methodology of Project Portfolio Management to explore the opportunities for its application in Bulgarian industrial companies.
