Eight of these startups will present their solutions on the Slovenian Startup Island within the official exhibition area, while others will participate as part of the national delegation, engaging with investors, accelerators, and international partners. The goal of Slovenia’s participation is clear: to strengthen the global visibility of Slovenian startups, connect them with international investors and strategic partners, and enhance the country’s presence in the global startup ecosystem.

In cooperation with the Business Angels of Slovenia, participating startups are undergoing a structured preparation programme that includes investment-readiness training, pitching sessions, and networking support. The national delegation will also be joined by State Secretary Matevž Frangež and key representatives of Slovenia’s innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, reflecting strong institutional support for internationalisation.

Web Summit annually gathers over 70,000 participants from more than 160 countries, including startups, venture capital investors, global corporations, and policymakers – offering unmatched opportunities for networking, learning, and visibility.

This year’s participation marks an essential milestone in SPIRIT Slovenia’s new Startup Internationalisation Programme, which aims to help Slovenian high-growth companies expand globally and position Slovenia among Europe’s most dynamic startup ecosystems. We invite you to visit the Slovenian national pavilion, meet the innovative startups shaping this ecosystem, and discover their cutting-edge solutions.

The delegation is organized by SPIRIT Slovenia Business Development Agency and the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport.
