More than 460 representatives of leading Bulgarians IT firms as well as municipal officials gathered Friday in Sofia to get familiar with the practical aspects of building e-municipality. The forum was organized by the Bulgarian office of International Data Group (IDG), leading technology media, research, and event company, with assistance from UNDP and several state institutions, and carried out under the patronage of State Administration Minister Dimitar Kalchev.
As part of Bulgaria's strategy for building efficient e-government system, the first online administrative services were officially launched September 2003.
A total of 20 online administrative services - including firms and vehicles registration - will be available in Bulgaria by the end of 2005. Through the optical cable infrastructure covering so far half of Bulgaria's territory, the exchange of information between institutions will considerably speed up.
