CMA is one of the first established clusters in Bulgaria, working in the field of mechatronics and automation. CMA creates conditions for mutually beneficial relations between its members, built on the basis of mutual trust and taking advantage of shared resource. This approach provides excellent opportunities to increase competitiveness in the fields of mechanics, electronics and informatics.

CMA is expected to be a bridge between applied research and industrial applications, combining the advantages of avantgarde thinking with rational management. The cluster will support the development of high-tech, export-oriented products, technologies and services that have high added value.

CMA individually and in partnership with other related organizations or consortia of its members has completed over 50 projects in the field of robotics, LED technology, energy efficiency, construction of VPN-communications, automation of continuous production in the energy, chemical and cement industries. Projects under the PHARE Program, OP INNOVATIONS AND COMPETITIVENESS, NIF and CROSS-BORDER COOPERATION have also been successfully completed.

KMA is a member of Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) – the European Commission’s largest business and innovation support network, covering over 60 countries. EEN helps companies find new international partnerships, innovate, and access financial resources.

The Cluster implements the SKYLA and BETTI projects under the Interreg Europe programme, aimed respectively at new skills for the twin transition and better governance of Artificial Intelligence technologies.

CMA is a member of the “Center of Excellence in Mechatronics and Clean Technologies”, “Center of Competence MIRACLe in Mechatronics, Innovation, Automation and Clean Technologies”, “Center of Competence Intelligent Mechatronics Eco and Energy Saving Systems and Technologies”.
