2:12 Предната линия на технологичните инновации.

2:15 Тя уважава наследството на баща си, но се стреми напред към света на цифровите технологии. Деян, от друга страна, е по-скоро мечтател.

He is afraid that that they may lose the uniqueness of their beginning, but

3:22 they support it. The day of the important presentation has come. The spacious hall with large glass windows offers a look at the autumn Sofia.

3:53 After the meeting, the two sat on a bench in the park near the incubator. Ralitsa, watching the falling leaves, realized that she had to slow down. Tradition is also a need to create something new. Dejan felt a new strength in himself, confidence that they could create something on their own, without help from others. To combine the best of the two worlds, said Ralitsa with a smile. Dejan came to an agreement, ready to apply his new ideas.
