Bulgaria is part of the Horizon Europe FINEX project, which aims to strengthen cooperation across European innovation ecosystems and improve access to environments where cleantech and deep-tech solutions can be tested and validated. A central activity in the early stages of the project has been the creation of a cross-regional database mapping testing and experimentation spaces. For Bulgaria, this process provided a clearer overview of the national landscape and shed light on both existing capabilities and areas where further development could support cleantech innovation.
