Ministry of Innovation and GrowthGovernment

The Ministry of Innovation and Growth of Bulgaria (Министерство на иновациите и растежа) is a central executive department within the Council of Ministers of Bulgaria. Its mandate is to stimulate technological development, foster digital and industrial innovation, attract domestic and foreign direct investments, and manage key European Union structural programs, including the Competitiveness and Innovation in Enterprises Programme (PCIE). The ministry was established on December 13, 2021, when the National Assembly voted to split the former Ministry of Economy during the formation of the Petkov Government to prioritize high-tech economic modernization.
