National Contest ‘Innovative Enterprise of the Year’

The award in the ‘Innovative Enterprise of the Year’ national contest is given annually to Bulgarian enterprises which have successfully developed and/or introduced innovations or to Research and Technological Development (RTD) organizations for their research that has increased the efficiency of business performance and/or has led to a sustainable economic impact.

The innovation performance of companies is evaluated by an independent jury on the grounds of data provided by the companies and in-depth technology audits of the applicants.

Applicants are evaluated against a special methodology by an expert panel and a jury in two categories:
(1) innovative small company (up to 50 employees),
(2) innovative medium and large company (over 50 employees).


The winner in each of the two categories receives an honorary diploma and a statuette made by the sculptor Petko Arnaudov.
