Be the S.O.S. Ambassador #ForBulgaria

“

You’ve landed in the right LZ — Landing Zone — a platform inspired by Bulgarian aviation, where a team of enthusiasts is laying the foundation for a new generation of vertical and aerial rescue.

We call this team THE INNOVATION TEAM.

Training for vertical rescue and aerial rope access on high-rise rooftops requires careful planning, particularly because of stronger winds, exposure, and limited depth perception at extreme heights.

A team of leaders, aviators, pilots, firefighters, rescue specialists, and extreme sportsmen is developing a new methodology for operations at High-Altitude Vertical Reference points on super-tall high-rise structures.

In the world of building development, urban architecture, and rope-access operations, high-rise structures are commonly described according to their height: buildings up to 300 metres are generally considered high-rises; structures above 300 metres are often referred to as supertall buildings; and those exceeding 600 metres are sometimes described as megatall buildings.

Bulgaria does not have supertall skyscrapers. But we do have super-high vertical rock walls exceeding 300 metres, particularly in the Vratsa region.

This is where our platform meets the terrain — and where the first phase of our vertical operations will begin, on cliffs, walls, and high-altitude structures.

A STEP INTO THE FUTURE

We are on the verge of making history in the vertical and aerial world.

Whatever we develop from this point forward has the potential to influence aviation and rescue operations — step by step.

And every step will be a victory.

Higher and farther, whatever we do differently will be shared with other volunteers and professionals. I promise you that.

Everything we develop for vertical and aerial rescue will have one purpose: to improve safety, security, drone operations, and fire protection on tall structures.

Our scientific knowledge, practical experience, and operational methods will be shared with the international community — including through the #ForBulgaria booth at Intersec 2018 in Dubai, where we would like to introduce our Ambassadors.

BEHIND THE SCENES

But THE INNOVATION TEAM does much of its work behind the scenes.

That is why we also want to recognize the brave and distinguished friends who support this initiative, contribute to the development of our society, and, in many different ways, represent a positive image of Bulgaria around the world.

For this reason, we are launching the Brand Ambassadorship Program for the #ForBulgaria project.

It is dedicated to distinguished men and women who work with commitment and determination to promote the positive image of Brand Bulgaria, help make Bulgaria safer, and bring Bulgarian innovation to the world.

We salute these men and women for their contribution, dedication, and achievements.“
