Neviana Boumbarova

Background
As an engineer, her primary skill is transferring the client’s needs into a product’s technical specifications. In 1992, far before the  DIH2 project, she became a Local Evangelist for Robotics in Bulgaria by implementing Cyber-Physical Systems (based on embedded systems). She managed a team that digitised several technological processes in different sectors.

• Digital speech synthesis applied in:
  - Industrial Manufacturing - a plant producing radio-transceivers achieved agility in user’s value;
  - Irrigation – an organisation responsible for maintaining many pump stations achieved agility in its maintaining costs;
  - Civil Defence – a Dam Warning System succeeded in agility for saving human lives.

• Digital Mobile Communication applied in:
  - Sports – an organisation responsible for Automobile Rally organising reached speed and accuracy in Rally Timing;
  - Industrial Manufacturing – a plant producing Power-Meters achieved agility by introducing a system for remote Power-Meters Reading;
  - Industrial Manufacturing – a factory producing entrance doors achieved agility in users’ value by offering electronic lock/unlock.

In addition, through her work as an Expert-Evaluator at the European Commission, she has acquired a good point of view on the EC policies and requirements.

Foreground
In the last three years, her focus has been on Automation & Robotics based on Artificial Intelligence in Visual Processing. Therefore, she could be helpful to all Bulgarian companies that need “Robotic Eyes”. Furthermore, as an economist, she knows how to manage financial resources during an innovation implementation.

Innovation motto:
There are no impossible things. All it takes is money and time.
