The participants of the meeting presented highlights of their activities and their latest achievements. There was a general opinion about the need to strengthen the partnership between this professional community among Bulgarians abroad and Bulgarians at home. It was stated that the Bulgarians who are engaged in science in the field of computer technologies are an unused resource. At the meeting, it was pointed out that Bulgaria should look for the added value, talent and great potential of its personnel in information and communication technologies, and not for their labor to go to the outsourcing industry. Our country has many high-quality experts in this field, but lacks entrepreneurial skills. In the conversation, it was pointed out that there is no innovation market in Bulgaria, therefore the exchange of good examples and practices is useful. Vice President Yotova emphasized that the Recovery and Sustainability Plan will provide opportunities for development in this area and for building start-up companies.
In addition to proven experts in their field, the participants in the meeting from abroad are also dedicated to the activities of the Bulgarian community, aimed at preserving and spreading the Bulgarian language, culture and spirit. Learning the Bulgarian language from an early age and education are among their priorities.
