Summary
The innovation activities of the Bulgarian companies lag behind the development of innovation culture and business attitude. The problems are due to the lack of information about the characteristics of the innovations as well as the insufficient knowledge on the investment practices in this field and the available financing programmes. By means of the process approach the article aims to clarify the nature of investments and innovation, innovation project management and the possible sources of financing. An attempt has been made to justify the need for a methodology of investment projects implementation within the scope of corporate innovation activities as well to formulate some principle requirements for it.
