The creation of a digital hub, which will start the real transition to digitalization in construction in Bulgaria, received an award in the contest “Mr. and Miss Economy”, organized by KRIB and the magazine “Economy”. The distinction was awarded to the ideologist and driver of the visionary initiative Lyubomir Peynovski, member of the leadership of the CBB and the KRIB and majority owner of the company “Cleantech Bulgaria” Ltd.
“With a lot of effort, eleven organisations and companies have created the European Digital Innovation Hub, whose ambitious task is to support the construction sector on its digitisation journey,” said Lubomir Peynovsky upon receiving the award. And noted the merit of each of the partners in the project – the Bulgarian Construction Chamber, which is the coordinator, the Chamber of Architects in Bulgaria, the University of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geodesy, the Institute of Mechanics of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, the Lyuben Karavelov Higher School of Construction, Cleantech Bulgaria Ltd, Geostroy AD, Planex Ltd, the Bulgarian Construction Project Management Association, Baumit Bulgaria and ESRI Bulgaria.
“The award is a well-deserved recognition of the efforts made by all of you, dear partners,” said Lyubomir Peynovski. He added: “I express my gratitude to 5 typhoons with gentle names – Mariyana Hamunova, Executive Director of “Cleantech Bulgaria”, Eng. Lyubka Deneva from CBB, Antitsa Rancheva from “Geostroy”, prof. Fantina Rangelova from the Bulgarian Construction Project Management Association and Evgeniya Karadzhova, Manager of ESRI Bulgaria.
The creation of a European Digital Innovation Hub in the construction sector was approved by the EC in June this year and the implementation contract was signed in October. The hub will support the transition to digitalisation through access to digital solutions, training and capacity building, work to introduce new technologies in construction and provide training on their implementation. Over the next 3 years, businesses will have access to expensive technologies and innovations and will be able to test them before investing in them.
The hub will provide training on working with BIM and GIS systems, artificial intelligence information, experimental facilities, etc. Its creation is of great importance for the future of the entire construction industry in Bulgaria, which is embarking on the path of digital transition. The result will be increased competitiveness and productivity of companies in the industry, as well as higher efficiency of the entire construction and investment process.
The defense before the European Commission and the winning of the project is a huge success for the industry, which despite the difficulties of the last two years continues to work with a vision for its future, believes the Chairman of the Board of the BCC Eng. Ilian Terziev.
