On June 26, Sofia once again played host to the global gathering of the future – Webit 2025, where more than 3,000 specially selected and invited leaders from business, government, science, media, and civil society, along with guests from around the world, came together to build bridges between technology, vision, and action. The event once again proved that Bulgaria is an active participant and leader in the global dialogue on innovation, sustainability, and the development of human potential.

The program featured inspiring talks and practical case studies presented by innovative companies and visionary leaders from around the globe. Representatives from Google, Qualcomm, Salesforce AI, Oracle, VISA, Accenture, and other global organizations shared how they are adapting their models to the new AI-driven realities, Web3, and the emerging ethics of leadership.

Topics discussed on stage ranged from the transformation of education and work to cybersecurity, sustainability, the future of health, and digital finance. The forum was not only a platform for ideas but also a space for solutions – real, applicable, and urgently needed.
