Technovators League: The Best Technology Stories Deserve to Be Told
Not every innovation makes the headlines. But every innovation that transforms business, society, or the way we use technology deserves recognition. There is still time for the most impactful technology stories to earn the recognition they deserve.
Manager Magazine has extended the application deadline for the inaugural edition of the Technovators League national competition until 22 July, giving more companies, leaders, and teams the opportunity to showcase their achievements.
The competition recognizes the people, organizations, and projects whose ideas, technologies, and solutions are driving the development of Bulgaria's technology ecosystem. In partnership with PwC, which has developed the evaluation methodology, Technovators League places strategic thinking, innovation, measurable results, and real business impact at the heart of the assessment process.
Applications are open to companies, individual leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and leaders of public initiatives. Eligible submissions include deals, projects, and transformation initiatives completed during 2024 and 2025. Both self-nominations and third-party nominations are accepted.
The jury brings together representatives from Manager Media Group, PwC, and independent experts in technology, AI, investment, and cybersecurity. The jury members include:
Denitsa Dimitrova, Managing Director, Manager Media Group
Diana Aladzhova, Partner, Silverline Capital
Rumyana Trencheva, Value Accelerator Advisor, Goldman Sachs Asset Management
Boris Georgiev, Google Cloud Director for Central and Eastern Europe
Georgi Sharkov, Former Caretaker Minister of e-Governance
The evaluation process consists of four stages: application, preliminary selection, jury assessment, and final evaluation. In selected categories, a public vote will also contribute 30% of the final score.
The competition categories cover key areas of the technology sector, including Tech Deal, Cybersecurity Leader, Tech Innovator, and Social Champion, recognizing both outstanding individuals and organizations with a proven contribution to the growth of Bulgaria's technology ecosystem. The competition culminates with the Future Shaper Award, presented by the jury to an individual or company whose exceptional achievements and long-term impact have helped shape the future of the technology industry.
