Scientific Research
The main scientific research unit is the Laboratory Complex. It consists of 11 laboratories furnished with specialized equipment and is managed by an independent Consortium, established specifically for that purpose. The members of the Research and Innovation and Development Consortium are leading academic institutions such as Sofia University, Technical University Sofia, Medical University Sofia and others. The laboratories are managed by prominent Bulgarian scientists, who have appointed their teams.
The laboratories provide opportunities to the academic field and the business to develop their own scientific projects, as well as the development of products and services with the help of the laboratory teams, so that they can reach successfully the market.
The laboratory complex is a place for children’s training in the fields of robotics and chemistry, as well as other extracurricular activities.
Sofia Tech Park and the R&D&I Consortium are included in the national scientific program network through the Ministry of Education and Science, which allows young researchers from universities and other scientific research organizations to conduct researches on new technologies. The program is expected to start November 2018.
