A number of our employees were and continue to be involved in national and international Informatics competitions. We've seen how they've grown as professionals through these competitions, challenging themselves and others in finding solutions to difficult problems. As a result, Musala Soft has invested in a variety of programs designed to promote the study of Informatics, the growth of young people and the development of a strong Bulgarian presence in the international Informatics society.
