Testimonials

I am convinced that the CCBR will make valuable contributions to the sustainable development of Bulgaria in the coming years.

Dr. Hans Musch (CEO Renergia AG)

I am delighted that the idea of establishing a Center for Clean Technologies and Efficient Biomass Management, which originated several years ago, has now become a reality. This was made possible thanks to the commitment, perseverance, and joint efforts of representatives from various institutions, united by the idea of a clean environment and the application of new technologies for the development of the economy in Plovdiv and the region. Today, the scientific team, with professionalism, inspiration, and innovative thinking, is turning ideas into concrete scientific and applied results and practical solutions for a greener, cleaner, and more sustainable future.

Prof. Dr. Hristina Yancheva (Regional Governor of Plovdiv Region and former Rector of the Agricultural University of Plovdiv (2016-2024)

The Centre for Cleantech and Biomass Resource Efficiency (CCBRE) will make a significant contribution to solving the problem of environmental pollution in the Plovdiv region.

Prof. Dr. Konstantin Theile (Professor at ESB Business School, Reutlingen University)

I was given a very warm welcome by the team in Plovdiv and appreciate the open and uncomplicated cooperation. The international program between the FHNW and the Agricultural University of Plovdiv offers many opportunities to gain new experiences and learn from each other. I am delighted to be part of a university centre that is still in its infancy and to show what student projects can achieve and how cooperation between universities and companies can be enriching for all sides. I am looking forward to the coming semesters and further exchanges.

Lukas Haag (student at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland)

Bulgaria is an emerging country with a well-educated workforce, many of whom unfortunately still earn their living abroad. The CCBRE offers the opportunity to make practice-based university knowledge available to emerging industrial companies and to work together to develop practice-oriented solutions. Successful companies provide jobs and ultimately ensure that jobs are created and workers can earn a decent living in their home country. I am therefore looking forward to the challenging task of contributing my scientific and technical knowledge to the CCBRE and thus to Bulgaria.

Dr. rer. nat. Horst Matzke (former CEO, Oberland Energie AG, Switzerland)

A very good team! They are efficient, practical in their approach to problem solving, systematic in their work, and focused on achieving the set goal. I am delighted to have the pleasure of working with this team!

Vasil Dimov (Director, Regional Directorate for Fire Safety and Civil Protection, Plovdiv)

Highly innovative and creative team — a true pleasure to work with. Visionaries whose scientific breakthroughs are only beginning.

Nikolay Mihalkov (Head of a Waste water treatment plant & the Wastewater Unit of Plovdiv)

Biomass and cleantech are successful when three things come together: clean technology, robust economics, and genuine cooperation. That’s exactly what CCBRE stands for.
