Project description:

The competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy and the companies is relatively low. However, the introduction of green technologies and development of the eco-innovations in the local business environment have a great potential to minimize the existing problem.

  • Increasing business cooperation with Norwegian and Bulgarian partners for joint green development
