On September 10, 2026, Sofia Tech Park will host the eighth edition of Robotics Strategy Forum, bringing together Bulgaria’s industry, robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, engineering and technology companies. This year’s theme, “Renaissance of Bulgarian Industry,” will focus on the people, companies, engineers, universities and technology teams developing products, machines, robots, electronics, software and engineering solutions in Bulgaria.

The event will explore how technology is transforming Bulgarian industry across different sectors — from the modernization of traditional manufacturing and electronics to aviation, industrial AI, robotics, 3D printing and engineering solutions for extreme environments such as Antarctica. The programme will also look at the connection between Bulgarian engineering and Japanese technologies, the role of Bulgaria in aviation, and the latest developments in humanoid robots and artificial intelligence.

Alongside the main programme, RSF 2026 will feature an expo zone with more than 50 innovative companies, live technology demonstrations and Additive Days 2026, a dedicated zone focused on additive manufacturing. Visitors will be able to explore the latest 3D printing technologies, materials and applications across industries including manufacturing, engineering, medicine, education, architecture and design.

The forum will also include free practical training sessions focused on different aspects of industrial production. Inova Group will present a hands-on session covering ESD protection, manual soldering and visual inspection, while Würth Elektronik will offer practical training on EMI noise filtering, including component selection, simulations and live EMC measurements. A separate session will look at how AI can support production planning by optimizing resources, deadlines and capacity while reducing downtime and delays.
