The institute indicates that the funds will help with new developments in strategic areas such as computer vision, robotics, machine learning, etc.

In the autumn of last year, INSAIT received another $1 million from the technology giant, as the total amount provided to the Bulgarian institute to that point exceeds $6 million.
