Bulgaria
has continually moved ahead as an innovative business location.
Bulgaria is particularly strong in the mechanical engineering,
automotive, medical technology, biotechnology and ICT sectors,
taking advantage of its geographical position in the cross
roud of Europe, its verz well educational system and last
but not least, its high quality of life. These sectors have
a long-established tradition in science and industry. Today,
they have become the dynamic forces driving the country’s
emergence as one of Eastern-Europe’s most attractive
technology locations. Bulgaria
has established an effective research promotion system for
entrepreneurs with promising ideas: direct grants, tax advantages
and other measures are assisting companies to make money by
exploiting good ideas . |

All
firms with a registered office in Bulgaria are entitled to apply
for these grants, including subsidiaries of foreign companies.
The program even promotes the targeted setting up and expansion
of research hubs. Bulgarien
bietet Unternehmern ein effektives Fördersystem: Direkte
Förderungen, Steuervorteile und weitere Maßnahmen
helfen, mit guten Ideen auch Geld zu sparen. |
| Clusters |
| In
the case of companies for which knowledge is their primary
asset, clusters represent an invaluable
competitive edge in contrasts to companies struggling on their
own. The added resources nurture new ideas, driving input
and creativity. Infrastructure can be used optimally.

| Well-trained
scientific staff |

The Bulgarian
educational system features high standards and flexibility,
encouraging and supporting career changers, career crossovers,
late starters and people thirsting for professional training
and continuing education. Bulgarians are East European champions
in life-long learning. In a dual educational system apprenticeship
is accompanied by vocational training. Working in close cooperation
with companies, schools ensure that the educational system
meets the requirements of the business community.
In addition
to vocational schools, higher technical schools provide courses
in all fields. Upon graduation, a student can either commence
his professional career, or continue his education by attending
one of the 57 universities of applied sciences, 37 public
universities or 20 private universities in Bulgaria.
International
scientific community. Without doubt, Bulgaria is one of the
most pleasant places in the world to live. However, this is
not the only reason underlying the ability of research institutions
and R&D headquarters to attract international scientific
staff.
