The President of the Bulgarian Academy of Science and I signed a Memorandum of Understanding establishing the Bulgarian Node of The Millennium Project. Dr. Mariana Todorova is the Chair of the Node, who was the first in Bulgaria to receive a PhD in Futures Studies and is a Member of the Bulgarian Parliament. Her husband Dr. Boyan Ivantchev is the co-chair and pioneer in behavioral finance and neuroeconomics. Together they brought me to Sofia and organized the launch of the Millennium Project Node and the Bulgarian edition of the 2013-14 State of The Future (see cover below), plus several media interviews including appearance on leading night-time television show (see photos: http://www.slavishow.com/en/guests/#). Here is a link to another interview with some video clips: http://www.economy.bg/science/view/16786/Nad-50%25-ot-horata-po-sveta-shte-sa-genii-prez-2050-

Next stop, Paris and Futuribles.

Futuristically yours,

Jerome C. Glenn, CEO
