The event was attended by the CEO of Invest Sofia, Dr. Maria Hristova PhD, and a special guest was Solomon Passy. &#8220;In 2004, at the Bulgarian Embassy in Paris, I met Mr. Passy, who had invited us &#8211; the Bulgarian students in Paris, to a meeting. Now in 2024, we are together again at the meeting of Campux X, IBM and Accelerator Sofia, where good partnerships are deepened and further developed&#8221;, said Dr. Hristova.
