Two Bulgarian companies with European Commission awards for start-ups

The European Commission's Prize is in two categories - "green" and "blue" enterprises. The green enterprises offer innovations related to air, environment and green energy, while the bluie ones are in the field of water conservation.

Karmenu Vella – EU Commissioner for the Environment: “The European Commission supports new ideas that contribute to a greener planet. Bulgaria is very successful this time, because both winners come from Bulgaria. This means that Bulgaria is one of the Member States that are actively contributing to innovative programmes, ideas and projects for a better environment - whether it is water, cleaner air or better waste management. So thank you, Bulgaria, for your contribution and keep up with the good work”, he said.

The company “ShiftIDEAS Biomik” develops an economical and biodegradable alternative to polystyrene from agricultural waste and mushrooms. On its behalf the award was received by Bulgaria's Ambassador to Belgium Maya Dobreva. The company “Enova” has developed a water pollution monitoring system based on a new generation of biosensors.

Hussein Yemendjiev, founder of Enova: “End users of our product can be all companies, individuals or non-governmental organizations that have interests in the monitoring of water quality. Users of our product can also be the water supply and sewerage companies, which daily monitor the drinking and waste water, national agencies that monitor natural waters, as well as private and state laboratories, universities and others.

The goal of the start-ups is to make scientific discoveries useful for business.
