Dear ladies and gentlemen, 

The Ministry of Innovation and Growth (MIR) has prepared a draft of the updated Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization 2021-2027 (ISIS)

The project was published for discussion on August 1, 2022 in the Portal for Public Consultations of the Council of Ministers – https://www.strategy.bg/

The Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization is the strategic framework for sustainable development based on research and innovation, the territorial capacity and ambitions of the regions and the broad participation of stakeholders. The strategy will play a central role in strengthening regional innovation ecosystems so that they can stimulate and sustain economic growth.

The strategy is a basic program document for determining the entire complex of measures for financing innovations in the program period 2021-2027, allowing the country access to the resources under the program “Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises” (PCIE) and the Program for Scientific Rresearch, Iinnovation and Digitalization for Intelligent Transformation (PSRIDIT) for the period 2021-2027.

A regional discussion of the Strategy will be organized on September 2, 2022 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the “Petya Dubarova” Hall in the “Morsko Casino” CC, Burgas. The ISIS project will be presented and opinions will be exchanged about the opportunities that the Strategy will open for the development of the Republic of Bulgaria and the South-Eastern planning region.

The information event will be held in a hybrid format.
