The mission of the National Innovation Fund is to support ideas with the potential to transform business, the economy, and society.

The NIF provides predictable, long-term, and systematic grant support for innovative projects developed by enterprises and research organizations in Bulgaria, encouraging the creation of products, services, processes, and technologies with real added value.

The Fund supports the full innovation journey — from the initial idea to its development and implementation. Through its activities, the Fund turns knowledge, expertise, and entrepreneurial energy into practical solutions that strengthen the competitiveness of Bulgarian enterprises and contribute to the country’s sustainable development.

The National Innovation Fund’s vision is to be a strategic driver of a modern, connected, and ambitious innovation ecosystem in Bulgaria — an environment where science, business, and the public sector jointly shape the future.

As an active participant in the national and European innovation landscape, the NIF works to build a coherent support framework that enables promising ideas to move beyond the concept stage and become real solutions, new markets, and sustainable growth.

The National Innovation Fund believes that innovation is more than technology — it is the courage to think ahead, the ability to create value, and the power to build a more competitive Bulgaria.
