Inspired by the success of last year’s campaign, the Bosch Bulgaria team once again dedicated time and energy to a variety of causes this autumn. The second edition of the company’s Volunteering Month brought together more than 150 associates and their families, who contributed over 600 hours of volunteering work. This year’s edition featured four different initiatives in support of public, cultural, environmental, and social organizations. Activities included cleaning and revitalizing the National Museum of Military History, building and refurbishing wooden structures in Vitosha Nature Park, refreshing and repainting the facilities of the “St. Vrach” Day Center for Children and Youth with Disabilities, and improving the conditions at the “Band of 1500” dog shelter in Seslavtsi.

At the National Museum of Military History, volunteers helped to maintain museum exhibits and improved the surrounding outdoor areas.

In Vitosha Nature Park, teams worked on building new wooden structures such as bridges, platforms, and benches, as well as painting, varnishing, and cleaning the “Golden Bridges” area.

The initiative at the “St. Vrach” Day Center focused on refreshing the indoor spaces and the outdoor yard to create a more welcoming environment.

Meanwhile, at the “Band of 1500” dog shelter, volunteers enhanced the living conditions for the animals, repaired existing facilities, and built new ones. The youngest participants joined in by walking and playing with the dogs, sharing time, care, and well-deserved treats.

Bosch Bulgaria supported each location by providing the necessary materials, and Bosch Power Tools contributed to the renovation and construction work during the initiatives.

As last year, the Month of Volunteering was organized in partnership with the BCause Foundation, a long-standing partner of Bosch in the field of corporate volunteering and donation programs.

The second edition of the campaign once again confirms Bosch Bulgaria’s belief in the power of community, empathy, and positive example. The company consistently combines the efforts of its associates through targeted donation and volunteer initiatives, proving that sustainable change and contribution to society begin with responsible actions.

“Digital technologies hold the power to redefine the architecture of our cities. They serve as essential tools in our quest for sustainable, efficient, and inclusive urban development. By intelligently integrating technologies like 3D, VR, AI, and Web5, we can sculpt smarter cities that offer a higher quality of life while remaining respectful of our planet’s resources. Our goal isn’t merely to keep pace with digital trends, but to proactively leverage these tools to create healthier, safer, and more beneficial environments for all urban residents,”

Emo Abadjiev explained.

WeRide.Today is not just a cutting-edge app, but part of an innovative platform devoted to responsible and human-centric solutions. Designed to assist bike commuters in navigating the often challenging cityscape, it provides more than just personal navigation; it offers contextual hints and showcases helpful Points of Interest (POIs) that simplify urban commuting. Grounded in democratic and open principles, WeRide.Today fosters sustainable active urban mobility, going beyond an app to embody comprehensive technological solutions for a greener, more connected today and future.

In addition to this, Abadjiev will shed light on the revolutionary Digital City project. An ambitious venture that epitomizes his commitment to redefining urban planning for the digital age. The project is poised to reshape how we conceive urban landscapes, integrating emergent technologies like 3D, VR, AI, and Web5 to deliver an unmatched urban living experience.

Through his participation in the Green Transition conference, Abadjiev aims to underline the possibilities of merging advanced technology with real-world applications, reinforcing his belief that these are not merely trends, but powerful tools that can help individuals, businesses, policy makers, and state administrations build groundbreaking products that enhance healthier, safer lives, and maximize technology benefits.

All karting fans could join and promote the karting tournament organised by DevStyleR and the #SpoDari initiative to help Children with Oncohematological Diseases Association. In addition to the pleasant moments on the track, where the Karting Champion among IT companies would be presented, the participants would also support the cause of organising sports camps for children with oncohematological diseases and their preparation for the annual “Games for Champions” in Russia.

The event would take place in several stages: master driving of country rally champions, strategies for successful and trouble-free driving, both on the track and on the road, and a real Le Mans kart race. (In French: 24 Heures du Mans).

Prominent car racers would be mentors of the teams and would help in building a successful strategy for the competition.

The teams would receive detailed safety instructions and clarification of the rules, and a qualification for starting positions would follow. The actual race would last for about 60 minutes, during which the teams would have a 4-minutes window for each change of pilot. Each team has to decide when to change the pilot on the karting route and which pilot on which relay race to be.

Participation is limited. Up to 12 teams would be accepted and each team would have 4 to 6 pilots.

Prizes, sports cups and medals would be awarded, and there would be lots of surprises for the participants and winners.
