Development of innovation Cluster Bultechnoplast

Cluster Bultechnoplast is an association specialized in the development of high-tech products and innovative processes in the field of road safety and signaling. The innovation cluster consists of cooperating organizations - industrial and service enterprises with a high degree of cooperation, which contribute to the realization of innovations, the implementation of new production solutions and the development of their potential. One of the biggest challenges for the applicant and for clusters in Bulgaria in general is the lack of funding to improve their innovation performance. They do not have their own technologies and capabilities to develop critical innovations for particular sectors or groups of sectors of the economy and they do not have the financial resources to outsource the necessary research. In order to meet these challenges, Cluster Bultechnoplast applies under this procedure with a project proposal for development of a product innovation - water based paint for road marking with synthetic graphene oxide and the creation of a common (joint) production center for the developed product. The project proposal includes the following activities: 1. Resource support for the activity of the cluster's innovation and research staff; 2. Acquisition of longterm tangible assets for common (joint) cluster innovation activities; 3. Publicity and visualization of the project. The implementation of these activities will contribute to enhancing innovation activity in the cluster as well as in its members. The support will provide access to the technology and expertise needed to strengthen and promote the cluster's innovation and development activities and to provide a basis for specific cooperation projects between cluster participants and external partners. It will create a more attractive environment for innovation-generating enterprises.
