Amusnet Chief Executive Ivo Georgiev Recognized with Golden Medal by Technical University of Sofia

The Technical University of Sofia marked its 80th anniversary with an official ceremony recognising institutions and leaders who have significantly contributed to the advancement of engineering education in Bulgaria. During the event, Ivo Georgiev, CEO of Amusnet, was presented with the Golden Medal for Outstanding Contribution, one of the university’s highest distinctions.

The award acknowledges Amusnet’s meaningful involvement in supporting engineering education, following the start of its partnership with the university.

Ivo Georgiev shared his thoughts after the ceremony, commenting: “The Technical University of Sofia holds national significance for Bulgaria’s technological development. Receiving this award is both an honour and a responsibility. I am convinced that strong cooperation between universities and the business community is essential for preparing the next generations of engineers.”

Since establishing the collaboration, Amusnet has already invested in several initiatives that enhance the academic experience for students. These include supporting new training opportunities and contributing to the improvement of university facilities. A key milestone in this partnership is the full renovation of the university’s main lecture hall, completed this year. The transformed auditorium now serves as a modern, technology-equipped space designed to meet the needs of contemporary engineering education.

Founded in 1945 as the Higher Technical School, the Technical University of Sofia today educates thousands of students and consistently ranks as a national leader across multiple engineering fields. The anniversary event brought together representatives from academia, business, and public institutions to celebrate the university’s achievements.
