The India–Bulgaria SITE Network is one of the newest and most promising expressions of this model. It aims to connect India’s scale, entrepreneurship, and affordability advantage with Bulgaria’s European Union (EU) market access, high-quality research institutions, and engineering expertise. The decision to establish a SITE Network between India and Bulgaria rests on strategic complementarity. Both countries stand at the crossroads of regions undergoing transformation: India at the heart of the Global South’s growth story, and Bulgaria as a bridge between Eastern Europe, the EU, and the wider Eurasian space.
