Local roots. Global vision. Smart science.
At CCBRE, we bridge the gap between science, industry, and education, transforming scientific research and innovation into practical, real-world solutions. Through advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and international collaboration, we help businesses optimise their resources, improve efficiency, and achieve sustainable growth. Through our knowledge transfer model, we support applied scientific research developed in direct partnership with industry.
At our Centre for Cleantech, we understand that every business and every production facility faces challenges on the path to success. We believe that science can be part of the solution, helping you turn these challenges into opportunities for growth and development.
At CCBRE, we work with highly qualified specialists and collaborate closely with universities and research institutions across Bulgaria and Europe to develop tailored, practical solutions that address the specific needs of each business.
Our activities focus on scientific research and development in the fields of applied science, efficient resource management, and the transformation of biomass and organic waste into high-quality products for industrial applications.
At the heart of our work lies one overarching vision – to help businesses grow sustainably, make the most efficient use of their resources, and optimise their production processes while minimising their environmental impact.
We investigate the impact of pollutants such as heavy metals and microplastics and develop approaches to minimise their effects on the environment. We strive to demonstrate to our business partners that environmental responsibility and sustainable resource management are not merely ecological commitments, but long-term investments in more efficient production, improved business performance, and sustainable growth.
At CCBRE, we have established a specialised team dedicated to digitalisation and the intelligent integration of AI technologies into industrial processes. Our goal is to help businesses move from decisions based primarily on human judgement towards decisions supported by accurate data, objective analysis, and advanced technological tools.
By applying artificial intelligence and digital solutions, we support industrial enterprises in collecting, processing, and analysing reliable data, enabling them to identify their real challenges and direct their efforts and investments towards the most effective solutions.
We focus on developing and integrating intelligent systems for auditing, assessing, and monitoring resource quality, as well as optimising resource utilisation throughout production processes.
We believe that when human expertise is combined with the capabilities of artificial intelligence, businesses gain more than just information – they gain a more reliable foundation for decision-making, more efficient management, and new opportunities for sustainable development.
One of CCBRE's distinctive strengths is the implementation of a technology and knowledge transfer model inspired by the experience and best practices of our Swiss partners at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW).
Through regular training sessions, knowledge exchange, and close collaboration with our Swiss colleagues, we build a sustainable connection between science and business. We adapt proven approaches and successful practices to the specific characteristics and needs of the Bulgarian industrial environment.
Our ambition is to introduce and further establish in Bulgaria a model of applied scientific research conducted in direct partnership with industry – an approach that is not yet sufficiently widespread in the country.
Our goal is to ensure that every scientific research project addresses a real challenge faced by businesses, and that every solution developed is backed by the expertise of the scientists working in our laboratories.
At the Centre for Cleantech and Biomass Resource Efficiency (CCBRE), we have a laboratory designed and equipped to meet modern standards for conducting high-quality scientific research.
Our laboratory is more than just a space for scientific experiments – it is a place where science meets the real needs of industry and is transformed into practical, applicable solutions.
The research and experiments we conduct are directly focused on the challenges faced by modern industrial operations. Our team concentrates its efforts on investigating and analysing factors that have a real impact on industry.
At the heart of our technology and knowledge transfer model lies not only the ambition to connect science with business, but also the belief that knowledge becomes even more valuable when it is shared and passed on to future generations.
That is why one of our key missions is to support education and inspire future scientists, researchers, and professionals. We develop a wide range of educational programmes and learning materials for schools and universities, bringing young people closer to the world of applied science and modern scientific research.
We believe that every encounter with science has the potential to leave a lasting impression on young minds and inspire the next generation of scientists and innovators.
We firmly believe that every university holds significant potential for advancing applied scientific research across various fields. This is why we are open to collaboration with educational and research institutions. We offer support in developing joint projects, building partnerships, and creating new opportunities for scientific research in close cooperation with industry.
Our goal is to build bridges between education, science, and business, ensuring that the knowledge we create today becomes a foundation for growth and innovation tomorrow.
