State Agency for Information Technology and Communications10
National program for accelerated IS development and
GRID focus Coordinated approach – GEANT NW, high
performance distributed clusters – GRIDS and test beds
Knowledge-based economy objective: R&D&I development in ICT for eHealth, Education, Business, eGovernment, scientific research and development
Access to GRID resources = optimized scientific and innovation potential of users + equal participation in EU scientific and educational initiatives
State Agency for Information Technology and Communications11
Some indicators of the Program, referred to R & D in ICT and
GRID Share of scientific research in the GDP Expenditure for scientific R & D Investments in ICT sector Secured national financing for R & D & I No. of engaged in ICT R & D No. of users with access to GRID resources No. of users facilitating GRID infrastructure
State Agency for Information Technology and Communications12
National Broadband ProgramAim for its development: for sustainable solution of the fact that the
broadband penetration rate in BG (11.2 % 01.2009, 7,6 % 01.08) is still far bellow the EU-27 average (22,9 % 01.2008), remaining one of the lowest in the EU (source: EC report of March 2009)
Milestones: Creation of new broadband infrastructure including
backhaul facilities (e.g. fixed, terrestrial wireless, satellite-based, or combination of technologies) ;
Upgrade of existing broadband infrastructure (e.g. increased reliability, speed, capacity, reach, better quality of service, etc.);
Laying down passive broadband infrastructure (eg: civil engineering works such as ducts, and other network elements such as dark fibre etc), also in synergy with other infrastructures (energy, transport, water, sewerage networks, etc).

e-Governance challenges
Insufficient and improper use of ICT
Lack of secure and interoperable Infrastructure
Lack of teamwork at the institutional and national level
As for creating of real e-governance is necessary to
involve all the state institutions

4. To provide integrated electronic services meeting the
needs of citizens and businesses
