FTS Insights official • This is a useful European ecosystem signal for Bulgaria. The story is not about a funding round or an exit, but about access: two local deeptech companies are now inside an EU-level network built to improve investor exposure, corporate connections and scaling support. For Sofia's ecosystem, that matters because deeptech growth often depends on cross-border structures long before commercial scale is fully visible.

Key Takeaways
  • Check Point Care and EnduroSat gained entry to a selective European deeptech community.
  • The signal is strongest around access to networks, investors and corporate links.
  • Digital health and space remain visible areas for Bulgarian innovation.
  • The EIC is pairing company selection with a broader investor coordination effort.
Why this matters
  • It puts two Bulgarian deeptech companies into a European scaling network with structured support.
  • The selection spans two strategic sectors: digital health and space.
  • The club offers practical scaling help, not just recognition or visibility.
  • The Trusted Investor Network adds a capital access angle around EIC-backed companies.
