Excitingly, and already with the partnership of the Academy of DSK Bank, the lecturers and student-mentors from BFU gathered 19 teams from eight high schools in Burgas - PGSAG "Kolyo Ficheto PGT "Prof. Dr. Asen Zlatarov", "G. S. Rakovski" High School of Economics, High School of Commerce, "Konstantin Fotinov" PGEE, PGMEE - Burgas, PPMG "Acad. Nikola Obreshkov" AEG – "Geo Milev". The students demonstrated their ideas and skills in the field of entrepreneurship and impressed with their energy and creativity!
