When Stara Zagora meets Europe: EDIHH Zagore at Innovent Forum in Larissa

During the prestigious Innovent Forum in Larissa, Greece, the Regional Economic Development Agency – Stara Zagora and EDIH Zagore represented Bulgaria in one of the most important discussions on the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises in Europe.

Our AI expert Hristo Hristov took part as a speaker in the international panel “Aeiforia strategy for European SMEs in Energy, Environment & Agrifood”. The topic focused on how smart technologies, green solutions and sustainable investments can be not just tools but key resources for leadership in the new economy.

From the panels to the partnerships

The forum was not only a platform for ideas, but also an arena for real opportunities. EDIH Zagore representatives met with representatives of start-ups, scientific organizations and technology incubators from all over Europe. Besides inspiration and exchange of best practices, the forum provided valuable contacts and new partnerships that will be used for the development of our region.

Among the demonstrations we saw not only small robots, but also big visions for the future of sustainable technologies. Every conversation, coffee break and exchange of business cards was a step forward towards a more connected, innovative and green Europe – with Bulgaria as an active participant.

Stara Zagora – is not just present, but leads

Our participation in the Innovent Forum is one more step towards the goal of EDIH Zagore – to put Stara Zagora and Bulgaria on the map of European innovation. To not only be part of the conversation about digital and green transformation, but to lead it.
