Promoting the Slovenian Entrepreneurial Ecosystem to Enhance the Innovative Orientation of SMEs

Purpose of Promoting Entrepreneurship and Innovation in the Environment

The promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation includes various specialized and targeted activities aimed at increasing the visibility of the Slovenian entrepreneurial ecosystem. This includes numerous key stakeholders, such as companies, public and private venture capital investors, support institutions, start-up consultants, mentors, and experts.

Targeted activities to strengthen entrepreneurship and innovation encourage interest in entrepreneurship, develop an entrepreneurial spirit, and increase the establishment of new companies. This also significantly contributes to increasing Slovenia’s attractiveness to foreign venture capital investors.

Establishing partnerships with stakeholders in foreign innovative start-up ecosystems further encourages equity investments in Slovenian companies and improves their competitiveness in international markets.

The goal of these activities is to attract foreign investors to invest in Slovenian companies and to stimulate new marketing and development partnerships between Slovenian and foreign companies and other stakeholders.
