SEF supports the Career Fair in Maribor for the fourth year in a row – together we create opportunities for young people

Date of publication: 11.11.2026

The Slovene Enterprise Fund (SEF) is supporting the Career Fair – the Fair of Professions and Education in Maribor for the fourth year in a row. The event will take place on November 18 and 19, 2026, at the Leon Štukelj University Sports Centre. As an event partner, SEF helps connect young people, educational institutions and the business sector, while encouraging the development of an entrepreneurial mindset and the recognition of new career opportunities. SEF will be present at the fair with its exhibition stand on Wednesday, November 18, 2026.

An entrepreneurial mindset develops from an early age

The Career Fair in Maribor is one of the key regional events in the field of career guidance, enabling young people to engage directly with representatives of companies, educational institutions and support organisations. Its purpose is to present diverse career and education pathways and to help young people make decisions about further education and their professional future.

At SEF, we believe that an entrepreneurial mindset begins to develop long before establishing a first company—through curiosity, creativity, innovation, initiative and the courage to bring new ideas to life.

That is why, by supporting the Career Fair for the fourth year in a row, we contribute to raising young people’s awareness of the importance of entrepreneurship, developing entrepreneurial competences, and creating an environment in which young people can recognise and develop their potential.

SEF brings entrepreneurship and career opportunities closer to young people

By taking part in the fair, we aim to bring entrepreneurship closer to young people as one of the possible paths for their future careers, and to present the role of SEF as the central national support institution for the development of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.

We will place special emphasis on presenting the opportunities offered by entrepreneurship, innovation, finance, technology and international business. We want to show young people that, with their knowledge, creativity and ideas, they can actively contribute to the development of the Slovenian economy—either as future entrepreneurs or as professionals in various areas of the support and business environment.

We will also present how SEF supports the creation of innovative companies, the development of entrepreneurial ideas, and the growth and competitiveness of the Slovenian economy through financial and development incentives.

Visit SEF at the Career Fair on November 18

Representatives of the Slovene Enterprise Fund will be present at the fair on Wednesday, November 18, 2026, at the SEF exhibition stand, where we will be available to visitors for discussion, a presentation of our work, and an exchange of views on entrepreneurial and career opportunities.

Through its long-standing support for the event, SEF reaffirms its commitment to promoting an entrepreneurial culture among young people and connecting the education and business environments.

After all, the future of the Slovenian economy is not based only on new technologies and investments, but above all on people—their knowledge, creativity and the courage to bring ideas to life.
