Who we are

French Tech Sofia is a structured bridge connecting founders, investors, institutions, and operators between France, Bulgaria, and the wider European tech ecosystem.

We are not a club, not a service provider, and not an operator. We are enabling infrastructure. Our role is to create trusted connections, accelerate meaningful collaborations, and strengthen cross-border innovation flow.

9 years

Of existence. We started in 2017 and have been active ever since.

What we do

We facilitate encounters that matter. Between entrepreneurs and capital. Between startups and corporates. Between local ecosystems and international opportunities.

How we work

Through curated events, ecosystem mapping, introductions, and collaborative initiatives, we turn proximity into opportunity and connections into outcomes.

Our role in the ecosystem

French Tech Sofia operates at the intersection of communities, institutions, and markets.

  • We connect ecosystems across borders
  • We amplify visibility for innovation actors
  • We enable collaborations without competing with those we connect
  • We create flow, not ownership
  • Our impact is measured through relationships built, opportunities unlocked, and bridges strengthened between France, Bulgaria, and the region.
