About Core Ideas
Core Ideas (Кор Айдиас ЕООД) is an independent research and development company registered in Veliko Tarnovo, Bulgaria, operating under NACE Rev. 2.1 class 72.10 (Research and experimental development on natural sciences and engineering). The company was established to carry out applied R&D in artificial intelligence and adjacent fields, with a focus on systems whose behaviour can be explained and verified.
Our mission
Our mission is to make advanced AI useful in domains where trust, transparency, and accountability are not optional. Explainability, in our view, is not a feature added on top of a model; it is a design principle that shapes how systems are built, evaluated, and deployed.
How we work
Core Ideas operates with a lean structure and a network of external researchers, engineers, and domain specialists engaged on a per-project basis. This allows the company to assemble focused teams matched to the specific scientific and technical demands of each engagement, whether a Horizon Europe consortium, a bilateral research collaboration, or an applied advisory project.
Where we work
The company contributes to European research and innovation programmes, including Horizon Europe and the Digital Europe Programme, and works with industry and public-sector partners across the European Union.
