BCCI and the Federation of the Scientific - Engineering Unions in Bulgaria will work for revival of the engineering sciences and financing of innovations

The President of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov and the President of the Federation of the Scientific - Engineering Unions in Bulgaria /FNTS/ talked about renewing the cooperation between the two organizations. A new Memorandum will be drawn up as an annex to the existing Agreement between BCCI and FNTS.

Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov invited the Federation of the Scientific - Engineering Unions in Bulgaria to take part in the Innovation Council with BCCI. The opportunity to apply with joint projects under appropriate EU programmes was discussed.

On its part, the Federation invited BCCI to participate in the “Technological Forum” which will take place in November to discuss problems of the business, as well as scientific and technological research.

The two non-governmental organizations will collaborate in the training and testing under the European Computer Driving License /ECDL/ programme. The Federation is licensed for the Certification programme.

During the meeting ideas were exchanged how to revive the fundamental science by providing participation in a National programme to companies with clear priorities in the field of scientific research and innovation and their application.

BCCI and FNTS are developing a proposal for the state authorities to look for means of reviving engineering sciences, finding funding for innovations and shortening the path from generating the idea to implementing the ready product.
