Digitalization of the region

Empowering a Thriving Digital Ecosystem

At RIC Gabrovo, we are committed to accelerating the region’s digital transformation. By connecting businesses, educational institutions, and local authorities, we create an environment where cutting-edge technologies drive innovation, streamline operations, and boost competitiveness in global markets.

Through initiatives like ADi4SMEs and support from the European Digital Innovation Hub network, we enable local enterprises to explore the latest digital tools—artificial intelligence, cloud computing, IoT, and advanced analytics—and implement them cost-effectively and sustainably. We partner with the Technical University of Gabrovo, industry experts, and international networks to offer workshops, seminars, and training sessions.

By upskilling the workforce, we ensure that companies and entrepreneurs have the competencies needed to thrive in a digital-first landscape.

Businesses can experiment with new technologies in a controlled environment before fully committing. This reduces risk, encourages creative solutions, and ensures that digital investments deliver real returns.

Collaborating closely with Gabrovo Municipality, we support projects that use digital tools to improve public services—such as intelligent lighting systems, efficient energy management, and robust data-driven policymaking—enhancing quality of life and resource efficiency.
