The study analyzes the impact of growing global economic instability on the innovation activity of Belarusian industry. Despite external pressures, the share of enterprises implementing innovations increased from 20.4% in 2016 to 36% in 2024, with especially rapid growth in the Brest region. However, innovation expenditures remain highly volatile, sharply declining in 2022 and recovering only by 2024, particularly in import‑dependent regions. Significant regional disparities persist in innovation performance: the Vitebsk region exceeds 30% of innovative products, while the Grodno region remains at 7%. Innovation services remain low nationwide but show rapid growth in individual regions. The findings indicate that innovation development in Belarus is progressing yet remains vulnerable to currency, logistics, technological, and sanctions-related risks, underscoring the need for integrated risk management models tailored to regional conditions.

The paper examines the relationship between environmental regulations and innovation processes in Slovak enterprises. The theoretical part is based on concepts of environmental policy, its instruments, environmental management and eco-innovation. The paper assumes that environmental regulations may function not only as constraints but also as stimuli for technological, process, product and ecological innovations. The empirical part is based on a questionnaire survey conducted among 121 enterprises operating in Slovakia. The results indicate that environmental regulations and environmental protection requirements influence business innovation processes, but they are not the only or dominant motive for innovation. Firms innovate more often due to social responsibility, economic efficiency, general legislative requirements and cost reduction. At the same time, the main barriers to innovation are high costs, complicated legislation and insufficient state support. The paper highlights the need for a more comprehensible regulatory framework, wider use of environmental management systems and stronger support for eco-innovation.

Family firms constitute an important element of the modern economy, combining the values of tradition, intergenerational continuity, and social responsibility. Their activities are often characterized by a conservative approach to strategic decision-making and a cautious attitude toward innovation. However, in the face of increasing global competition and rapid technological change, maintaining a sustainable market position requires openness to digital transformation and the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept. Industry 4.0 represents a new paradigm of business activity, combining digital technologies and the Internet with conventional manufacturing processes, in order to enhance their efficiency and flexibility. The aim of this paper is to analyze the implementation of the Industry 4.0 concept in a medium-sized family enterprise located in north-eastern Poland. Over its more than forty-year history, the company has undergone a profound transformation from a manufacturer of simple metal products and agricultural tools, through a producer of cable connectors for the shipbuilding industry, to a specialized supplier of components for the aviation, automotive, and railway sectors. In recent years, the company, supported by grants from European Union funds, has established an R&D department as well as a Center for Robotics and Automation, forming the foundation of its digital transformation process. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Industry 4.0 solutions has contributed to strengthening the company’s competitive position and facilitating its expansion into international markets. The key determinants of success were effective intergenerational succession, the pro-innovative attitudes of family members, and cooperation with universities and research entities.

This paper examines how new security technologies could reshape Bulgaria’s critical infrastructure resilience while simultaneously creating new vulnerabilities and dependencies. Bulgaria’s modernization, pursued through EU and NATO frameworks and supported by initiatives such as the Defense Innovation Center, promises stronger protection against evolving threats. Yet these same pathways embed risks, from reliance on external vendors and standards to design-level weaknesses such as expanded cyber attack surfaces and system complexity. Adopting a prospective, scenario-oriented approach, the paper argues that resilience and dependency develop in parallel, and that anticipating this paradox will be essential for shaping Bulgaria’s future security strategy.

An entrepreneurial ecosystem can be defined as a national or international network of public and private organizations that combine efforts to create new companies and ensure their success by offering them access to knowledge, capital, markets and resources. This motivates companies to invest their profits in the same ecosystem, which in turn creates economic wealth and develops industries. In addition to creating more competitive and efficient markets and improving the user experience, entrepreneurial ecosystems in information and communication technologies are mainly focused on innovation, the creation of new business models, products and services.
The EU4Digital program has developed a framework to establish and strengthen ICT entrepreneurial ecosystems in the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine); this will be done through a roadmap that assesses the technological readiness of each country and provides recommendations for ecosystem development for these countries.
The Georgian ecosystem has undergone significant and rapid changes in recent years. One of its main directions is the startup ecosystem.
The current situation can be characterized by great attention and interest in startups and the development of the startup ecosystem.
Even though Georgia’s development processes are transforming in the right way, there are a number of challenges that have to be overcome in order to build up a world-class startup ecosystem.
The paper uses the results of the research conducted by one of the co-authors in this direction, in which was formulated the definition of a
spatial innovative entrepreneurial ecosystem, and was determined the role of the institutional environment in ensuring its sustainable
development.

This paper explores the pivotal role of technology and innovation in enhancing the resilience of Bulgaria’s critical infrastructure. It examines the integration of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), blockchain, digital twins, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), cyber-physical systems (CPS), and big data analytics in sectors like hazardous waste management, border security, and airport security. By analyzing case studies and current implementations, the paper highlights the successes and challenges faced in adopting these technologies. The study also discusses the importance of public-private partnerships and regulatory frameworks in fostering an environment conducive to technological innovation. The findings underscore the necessity for continuous investment in technology to safeguard critical infrastructure against emerging threats and to ensure long-term sustainability.

The paper presents the conceptual framework of an international project focused on the development of entrepreneurship culture at academic level. Academic entrepreneurship is seen as a means of commercialization, which is the transformation of knowledge into products, processes, and organization and their contribution to economic growth and innovation. In this regard the project is aimed to explore hidden strengths of academic entrepreneurship in detail and in various aspects oriented to students, academic staff, and businesspeople. The project will suggest training materials in line with the changes in the economic environment in recent years to create both entrepreneurial culture and skills to start own business under the supervision by academic entrepreneurs.

Technical Products that companies put on the market must be competitive and must find their way to the customer or the customer must find their way to them. In the vast majority, these are new products or innovated existing products that can offer the customer added value compared to the competition and, above all, induce in him the desire to purchase the product and not just include it in the selection of other competitive products. During the development process of these products, it is necessary to take into account the entire life cycle of the product and not only its operational functions and other operational characteristics, which is quite often neglected. There exist a lot of engineering design methodologies, methods and/or tools implemented in guidelines and standards which help engineering designers to innovate products and to reduce constructional, safety, environmental, etc. risks of Designed (future) Technical Products. Their common feature is especially high dependence on specialized experience of their users, time consuming, and their mutual both conceptual and terminological inconsistency resulting in very difficult compatibility with engineering designing itself.

Big Data is becoming one of the most important technology trends. It presents a potential that is radically changing the way organizations use their information to be closer to customers by organizing in a way that benefits from the customer experience and transforms their business models.
Although Big Data is an ever-climbing trend in terms of industry, its meaning is still hidden by many conceptual ambiguities. The term is used to describe a wide range of concepts: from technological ability to storage, aggregation, data processing and finally their generation. In this paper the focus is at Big Data, because they are the technology of the future and in one way or another, they are affecting every field of industry. Furthermore, companies are increasingly trusting the possibility of using data as a valuable business asset to benefit and bring a competitive advantage compared to other companies. In the paper is presented also a SWOT Analysis that is conducted about Big Data information showing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and risks that they carry. Also are presented the challenges of Big Data Technologies for the future. At the end of the paper, there are conclusions and recommendations about the topic.
