Local Innovation Talks | Bansko Edition
In collaboration with LocalInnovationTalks.world/Bansko
A story about people, ideas, and places that change the world
In collaboration with LocalInnovationTalks.world/Bansko, Me & Bo Life has been part of developing a unique initiative that celebrates the power of human innovation.
The project is built on a simple yet powerful idea: To show that innovation is not only about technology and progress — but about people, connections, and shared values.
88 Voices. One Place. Infinite Possibilities.
By profiling 88 individuals connected to Bansko – entrepreneurs, creators, educators, artists, and community builders – we are creating a living archive of stories. Each profile demonstrates how one person, through their thinking and actions, can shape both their surroundings and the future.
The stories and articles will be published on 👉 LocalInnovationTalks.world/Bansko and complemented by AI-generated podcasts, designed to inspire and build bridges between people, places, and ideas.
Bansko – Where the Future Has Already Begun
The project begins in Bansko – a place where digital nomads, entrepreneurs, and creative minds from all over the world come together.
Here, new ways of living, working, and thinking are born. It is no coincidence that this city was chosen as the pilot for Local Innovation Talks.
Bansko symbolizes the new era of innovation, where progress grows from human freedom, creativity, and the calm of nature.
The Purpose
Local Innovation Talks creates a scalable model for how local initiatives can grow globally through storytelling.
It is about giving visibility to people and communities that often go unnoticed — and in doing so, creating real value:
-
For people, through recognition and visibility.
-
For businesses, by sparking collaboration and knowledge exchange.
-
For real estate and municipalities, by showcasing the human energy that drives a place forward.
-
For events and brands, by associating them with creativity, humanity, and future-mindedness.

Through words, sound, and storytelling, we aim to create presence and authenticity. Because in a time when everything moves fast, we need — more than ever — to pause and listen to the people behind the ideas.
