Sustainability innovation in Southeast Europe will be a big topic for The Recursive moving forward. In the past few years, a number of green startups emerged in the region, some of them already generating decent market traction on their journey to support the world’s transition to cleaner energy and more sustainable use of resources.
To further boost this movement, we decided that every month we will dedicate at least five in-depth articles to the emerging cleantech ventures in Bulgaria, Romania, Greece and the Western Balkans – and share their progress and lessons learned over the years. The ultimate goal? To spread the accumulated so far knowledge and inspire more young entrepreneurs to try finding innovative ways to protect the environment.
So, the story of which Bulgarian cleantech startup should we explore in July? Pick from our shortlist or send us another suggestion and if suitable we will add it to the poll as soon as possible.
Vote until July 2nd, we will announce the results early next week. Don’t forget to share with friends and other sustainability enthusiasts.
