Strategic framework and technological focus

Synergy with the city strategy

The basis of our activity is the Sofia's Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialization (ISS). The Cluster Sofia Knowledge City not only follows this strategic document, but is also an active participant in its development. The participation of our founders and experts in the development of municipal policies ensures that the voice of innovative business is heard at the highest level.

For us, the Smart City is not just a concept, but a living ecosystem that connects people, technologies and knowledge for a better urban environment.

Roadmap for the future

The cluster is working on an updated Roadmap for transforming Sofia into a smart, green and creative center. Our goal is to offer the Sofia Municipality and society specific solutions for urban management, based on data, artificial intelligence and citizen participation. We believe that every smart transformation begins with quality knowledge management.
