Our country is joining the innovation processes in European defense with the development of underwater technology designed to protect military divers, announced the Head of the European Commission representation in Bulgaria, Yordanka Chobanova.

A supercomputer will also be built on the territory of the country, which will function as part of the so-called artificial intelligence factories.

“The new initiative InvestAI aims to mobilize around EUR 200 billion, including EUR 20 billion for AI factories. One of these supercomputers will be located in Sofia, with the main concept being that this resource will unite universities, the academic community, industry and financial institutions", said Yordanka Chobanova.
