A market research will begin shortly, followed by a tender procedure for Bulgarian developers for several types of drones based on the Defence Ministry's specifications. This was announced by Tomislav Donchev, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Innovation and Growth, during the 5th SEE ITS Summit here on Thursday. "I believe that this is entirely within the capacity of Bulgarian developers," Donchev added. 

According to him, the question remains whether the Bulgarian industry will have the capacity not only to produce sufficient quantities, but also to guarantee a low price, which is a feature of this product and a requirement for it. 

In addition to drone production, the Deputy Prime Minister listed other areas in the defence industry in which Bulgaria could easily specialise, in his words, such as anti-drone defence systems and tactical-level guided missiles. 

SEE ITS Summit 2025 is the largest forum for innovation and technology in Southeast Europe. It is organized by the Association for Innovation, Business Services and Technologies (AIBEST). One of the key highlights of the programme is the presentation of the new Digitalisation 4.0 index by the SeeNext team, a long-standing analytical partner of the forum. The report will outline the development of digitalisation in Bulgaria and the region - from the share of ICT specialists in employment to the implementation of artificial intelligence and e-commerce. The forum will conclude with the SEE ITS Awards ceremony on Thursday evening, which will honour companies with the strongest contribution to the development of the sector in Southeast Europe.
