NetInfo and NOVA presented a special award to READU, the educational platform recognized as the startup with the highest public approval.
For the fifth consecutive year, the “Best Youth Startup in Bulgaria 2026” competition, organized by the Fund of Funds, recognized three of the country’s most promising startup projects.
The first award, in the “Business Stars” category, was presented to CAR BNP, a shared parking platform that connects drivers with parking space owners. In the “SDG Dragons” category, the winner was RainReborn, an intelligent system for collecting and utilizing rainwater. The award in the “Future Unicorns” category went to Edu Wise Bot, an AI-powered platform for corporate knowledge discovery and management.
The special NetInfo and NOVA award, the Public Spotlight Award, recognizing the startup with the highest level of public support, was presented to READU, an educational platform designed for teachers and students.
The winner was determined through a public vote conducted via the NOVA PLAY application. Competition among the finalists remained intense until the very last moment. Participants were required to attract votes through self-produced videos uploaded to Vbox7, where they presented their projects in a creative and engaging way.
“Our platform provides a comprehensive solution for the education system through the use of 3D models and simulations. By leveraging data, we aim to make education more transparent, understandable, and predictable for both teachers and students,” said Bozhidar and Stoyan, founders of the educational platform READU.
