Pazardzhik Residents Win National Entrepreneurial Program Teenovator

Eleven students from Pazardzhik successfully completed their participation in the national youth entrepreneurship program Teenovator and performed impressively at the grand final, presenting their business ideas to over 600 students, investors, entrepreneurs, and business partners from across the country.

Teenovator is one of the largest such programs in Bulgaria. Over nine months, participants from 10th and 11th grades worked closely with entrepreneurs and business leaders who supported them in creating real startup projects. The training covered skills such as team collaboration, leadership, presentation abilities, and entrepreneurial thinking. Over the past eight months, students from Pazardzhik worked under the guidance of mentors Alexandar Ivanov and Elena Popova.

The training included over 30 workshops, during which they went through the entire process chain – from creating and validating ideas to final presentation. At the final, the Pazardzhik participants presented two projects:

• Salt yPro – an innovative idea for savory protein bars aimed at active people;
• Poseiko – a coloring book story for children with sheets of paper that can be planted, combining fun, education, and eco initiatives.

The young entrepreneurs defended their ideas in a packed hall with confidence and professionalism. The Poseiko project ranked among the top ten projects across Bulgaria, with the team also receiving two special awards.

“The greatest reward is not the awards but the confidence these young people gained during their participation. That is the true success!” shared mentors Alexandar Ivanov and Elena Popova.
