\"\"During the panel, Viktor Shiller shared that one of the first things he learned from his stay in Bulgaria was that people speak foreign languages and have a high technological culture.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI am in the Silicon Valley of Europe. You outpace your rivals in an \u2018unfair\u2019 manner because you are well-prepared and have great skills, and the price at which you provide your skills is much lower\u201d,<\/span><\/i> said the president of R Cubed Group .<\/span>
\nThe <\/span>Soft Unit Conference<\/span> brought more than 1 400 young talents and professionals. More than 70 <\/span>Bulgarian and international top speakers, entrepreneurs and experts shared their experience, advice and ideas in three different halls. The conference has the ambition of becoming an annual event under the same motto: <\/span>Stay here where your story matters!, <\/span><\/i>thus facing the need for a new perspective and a different approach to young people so they would have a reason to stay in Bulgaria and be the driving force in the technological change that is happening here.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
