Slovenia’s offer for North American IT, Tech and BPO companies that look to expand in the European market,
Tuesday, December 14, 2021
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EDT
Slovenia is an emerging Tech, IT, and Business Services hub in Central and Eastern Europe. Perfectly situated - The CEE country is directly attached to the economic power-house of Europe - the region of Southern Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Northern Italy. Almost half of the youth population are studying at a university, offering international companies a highly skilled workforce and software engineers at a competitive level. World class institutes like Jozef Stefan Institute are providing the AI specialists and competence needed to stay ahead in the game. Thus, US Tech Companies like Plume, Aviat and many more are using Slovenia as their software engineering and R&D hub for Europe.
For BPO and Business services in higher-value verticals, Slovenia offers accessibility, functional expertise, and near-native fluency in German and Italian - two of the toughest languages to source in Europe. Already, a number of locally owned providers (such as ECHO Contact Center and Linea Directa) have set up their own delivery centers across Slovenia. This proves the value of investment for prospective global operators to enter this market.
This roundtable will be moderated by Peter Ryan, Principal Analyst at Ryan Strategic Advisory, and a leading expert on Central & Eastern European outsourcing opportunities.
Key learnings from this exclusive event will include:
We look forward to your participation!

While still far from a global giant, Slovenia has a long tradition of combining experience and knowledge with innovation, creative thinking, and care for the environment. That is why, under the banner of Green. Creative. Smart., Slovenia is emerging as a pioneer in innovation and creativity – two key factors behind Slovenia’s impressive economic development and success.
By being Green, Slovenia develops technical innovations that prioritise taking responsibility for future generations. That is why, despite its size, Slovenia has doubled investment in sustainable development, becoming the 5th EU country in the field of eco-innovations. What's more, Slovenia’s socially responsible economy is among the best in the world in terms of environmental health and ecosystem vitality. Using Port of Koper, the leading cargo port in the Northern Adriatic, lowers carbon footprint emissions and provides the shortest and quickest way from Far East to CEE countries.
By being Creative, Slovenia has a talent for creating value, recognizing the importance of nurturing creativity as a tool for solving the most pressing issues facing the world today. That’s why Slovenia is a leading Central European country in patent registration. And the 30th most innovative country globally. And why Slovenian companies’ R&D investment ranks high above EU-28 average, resulting in technologically advanced products and solutions best suited to the needs of the future.
By being Smart, Slovenia ensures its solutions are globally competitive. That is why Slovenia is the leading country in cross-border trade worldwide. It's also why sustainable and innovative Slovenian automotive components are integrated into basically every European vehicle. And why Slovenia was placed 5th by OECD for smart products delivered daily by the Slovenian digital and robot-intensive economy.
Supported by AHP International, SPIRIT Slovenia is embarking on an exciting campaign to the USA in 2021/2022 with several in-person business trips as well as virtual events and investor meetings. We look forward to meeting in-person and virtually and to share Slovenia’s strong value proposition while discussing ways we can support your business expansion plans in Europe.
