DISCOVER YOUR NEXT BUSINESS INVESTMENT. DISCOVER SLOVENIA

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's 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.

The importance of being Green. Creative. Smart.

By being Green, Slovenia develops technical innovations that prioritise taking responsibility for future generations. That's why, despite its size, Slovenia is the third EU country in the field of eco-innovations, and has doubled its investment in sustainable development. What's more, Slovenia’s socially responsible economy is among the best in the world in terms of environmental health and ecosystem vitality.

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's 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.
