Innovation Uncorked: Connecting CEE Tech Over Bulgarian Wine (Bulgaria's Wine Reception at GITEX AI Europe - Berlin)

Meet us at the Bulgarian Booth (D80, Hall 4.2) during GITEX AI Europe for an hour and a half of conversations, connections, and a toast to Europe's thriving innovation ecosystem.

Innovation Uncorked is a wine reception, bringing together founders, investors, and tech professionals who want to get a closer look at what Central and Eastern Europe has been building in tech and AI.
The event opens with a welcome note from Rositsa Ivanova, Head of the Economic and Commercial Section, Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Berlin, Federal Republic of Germany, setting the stage for what the region has to offer.

From there, it is an open floor to meet the people behind some of CEE's most exciting associations, agencies, ventures, swap ideas, and explore what collaboration across the region might look like.
