They point to weak state support and the lack of sufficiently qualified and motivated personnel as the main obstacles to the development of innovations in Bulgaria.<br \/>\nOver the past year, companies have introduced innovations most often in terms of new ways to promote sales (43%) and improving existing company products and services (38%) as an additional effect of the crisis and response to the state of emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Every second company is determined to seek new development opportunities and increase its production volume in 2022. The most common concerns this year are related to the rise in prices for;<br \/>\nElectricity (60%);<br \/>\nReduced purchasing power of consumers (51%);<br \/>\nIncreased inflationary pressure (47%);<br \/>\nShortage of staff (45%).<br \/>\nThe respondents named tourism, information technology and agriculture as the top 3 strongest sectors of the Bulgarian economy. According to them, the sectors that need the most additional development are:<br \/>\nAgriculture (60%);<br \/>\nTourism (55%);<br \/>\nEducation (50%);<br \/>\nHealthcare (49%).<br \/>\nThe survey was conducted among 200 founders, owners of Bulgarian companies and high-level managers from various fields, men and women aged 30-61+, balanced by gender, age, place of residence and size of the settlement. The fieldwork was carried out with an online user panel JTN Panel, using the CAWI (Computer Assisted Web Interviewing) methodology.
