Particular interest was generated by the presentation of the “New Life for the Black Sea” project, delivered by the ECO.BG team and Alexander Todorov. The initiative aims to restore the marine ecosystem through the implementation of innovative approaches, sustainable practices, and measures for preserving the region’s natural heritage.

The organizers expressed their gratitude to all participants for their active engagement and valuable contributions. Special appreciation was extended to guests who traveled from Burgas, Sofia, and other cities to attend the event and contribute to the productive exchange of knowledge and ideas.

During the meeting, participants were also introduced to the opportunities offered by Enterprise Europe Network for businesses and organizations.
