More than half of the Bulgarian firms fail to invest in innovations because they lack sufficient funds to do so, according to a survey of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI).

Based on its survey, the BCCI also claims that Bulgarian enterprises have serious difficulties taking advantage of EU funding under Operational Program "Competitiveness", which funds industrial and technological modernization, because of bureaucratic obstacles.
About 27% of the respondents have indicated that they use innovations, including products of their own research and development activities.
