Between 18 and 19 November 2025, Cluster Sofia Knowledge City took part in the first CO.FUN Lab, organized under the INVESTech - Innovation Vocational Excellence in Tech project. This project is co-financed by the Erasmus+ program and is aimed at creating a network of COVEs in 5 countries in Europe.

The INVESTech partnership gathered in Piraeus, Greece, for an intensive two-day practical workshop dedicated to shaping ideas for joint European projects and building capacity in EU funding programs. After two online trainings in October, the partners met face-to-face to transform their concept notes into mature, well-structured proposals under the Erasmus+ and Horizon Europe programs.

A key investment round has now opened on Crowdcube - the largest private crowdfunding platform for market investments in Europe - for the technology startup growyze, which we support.
