On September 5, at TRIA SPACE, Central Park Burgas, we held a practical workshop dedicated to the open procedure BG16RFPR001-1.012 “Digitalization of Enterprises.” The event drew high interest from micro and small companies looking for a fast track from idea to successful application.
What We Demonstrated
Real digitalization solutions from Bulgarian companies: Valival (online commerce and content supported by AI) and Euribia Digital (custom software tailored to SME needs). The demonstrations were built around the eligible activities under the procedure and showed how to translate them into measurable business impact.
A Concrete Application Plan
Participants went through a brief, focused guide covering: who can apply, what activities and expenses are eligible, aid intensity and budgeting, as well as the steps for submission through ISUN. We highlighted the key parameters of the procedure — BGN 5,000–50,000, up to 70% aid intensity, for micro and small enterprises; deadline: September 26, 2025, 4:30 PM (application via ISUN 2020).
Lecturers and Mentors
Joining us were:
- Ina Agafonova — member of the DIGIHUB Board of Directors (leading the “Application Plan” session)
- Dimitar Ivanov — Marketing Manager at Valival
- Mario Georgiev — CEO of Euribia Digital (demonstrations and Q&A)
