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.
