This paper examines the possibilities of new technologies to support and facilitate students from higher education in their learning process, as well as to understand the impact of contemporary technologies on their further successful careers. Their role is analyzed and some of the important technological trends, including artificial intelligence, robotic technologies and accessibility technologies, that can support the learning process are discussed. A survey was created to explore the possibilities of the innovative technologies under study. A survey was conducted among students from the Technical University of Sofia, Bulgaria, and the results were collected in an online database and analyzed with statistical tools. As a result of the research, a conceptual model for the integration of innovative technologies in higher education in Bulgaria was developed. The benefits of innovative technologies for increasing student engagement and efficiency and providing better prospects for business realization are presented.
