The contest was first organized in 2018, and the necessary and sufficient condition for participation is that the project must be implemented in Bulgaria. One of the leading goals of the initiative is to promote Bulgarian innovative projects. The contest features three categories: Startup, Innovation, and CSR Project (Corporate Social Responsibility Project).

The goal of this contest is to draw attention to innovative solutions and significant projects realized by companies in 2022, a year marked by severe geopolitical and inflationary crises. Despite the difficulties, companies have demonstrated resilience, and here we are today, stronger and more competitive!
