Partners

Trakia Economic Zone (TEZ) provides a regional environment in which to pilot and scale up technology transfer.

Within our CCBRE ecosystem we collaborate with participants from Bulgaria and abroad. For example:

• The Swiss Biomass Association and AXPO AG provide market information from the biomass and energy sectors, which strengthens our path to application of real-world solutions.
• The Swiss university FHNW contributes advanced analytical methods for quality assurance and different types of sensors.
• Oberland Energie AG and the University of Plovdiv 'Paisii Hilendarski' support research into microplastics and soil behaviour.
• We collaborate with the Bulgarian Academy of Agriculture as well as partner universities through the European University Alliance UNIgreen, and we exchange experience with Sofia University St. Kliment Ohridski and the Trakia University of Stara Zagora.

Our partners provide access to infrastructure, data and real-world test sites, thereby accelerating our impact.

We welcome further collaboration with businesses, municipalities, farms, start-ups and non-governmental organisations, active citizens in Plovdiv region and beyond.

Whether it's test fields, pilot projects, joint research or access to analytical and laboratory capacities, we establish flexible and targeted partnerships. Our external access coordinator ensures a clear onboarding process. Together, we define the target picture, the framework for data and intellectual property, and the measurable impact.
