We put the number 2000 in the name of the exhibition 27 years ago, because the year 2000 seemed to us to be something very distant in the future, like in a novel by Arthur Clarke. We are now 2020. We decided to look at how far we have come in the future, without neglecting the traditional. I know we are on the right track, I am glad that so many people and organizations are behind us. "

These are many traditions, many interactions, many mutual lessons. The direction you have taken, the direction of technology and the security of the home and the environment. The good news is that in all this technology in which we live, man is once again becoming the center of attention. And everything that we at the National Palace of Culture and you do is in the service of man, his needs and the needs supported by technology. For us, your jump is very important because we have the same policy. Apart from being a cultural center, the National Palace of Culture is also a congress and conference center. This will be a priority for us this year. Because despite the technology, despite the ability to see everything from a distance, the meeting between people remains key. "

Borislav Ignatov, municipal councilor and member of the Chamber of Architects, as a patron of the accompanying program, said "STROIKO is an exceptional event in its essence, because it is the only professional exhibition that treats construction, architectural and interior work, aimed at the general public.

STROIKO is focused on how to make our homes smart together and how to make our cities smart together. These are all strategies that we will present at the exhibition this year. "

These issues made us develop the STROYKO Safety section ", said Ms. Nikolova. She announced that from this spring the BCCI SECURITY exhibition will join for a joint organization.
