Vision

We see the Plovdiv region and Bulgaria as a territory where applied science is a driver of sustainable development — a place where research ideas become technologies, jobs and solutions of lasting public value.

We strive for a future in which:

• scientific results do not remain on paper, but find application in industry, agriculture and environmental protection;
• young scientists and entrepreneurs in Bulgaria find the environment, resources and partners to realise their ideas at home, rather than abroad;
• knowledge and skills are passed on from one generation to the next, and lifelong learning is accessible to everyone who wishes to contribute to sustainable development;
• the Plovdiv region establishes itself as a recognised hub for cleantech, the circular economy and resource efficiency in South-Eastern Europe;
• cooperation between academia, business and public institutions is the norm rather than the exception.

We believe that sustainable innovation is the surest path to a competitive economy and a healthy environment for the generations to come — and we work to make that path accessible.
