The Slovenian nation has always been known for its innovation and creativity and is increasingly leaving its mark on the global stage.
More and more Slovenian companies are joining the ranks of prestigious international brands such as Apple, Adidas, Siemens and BMW, as recipients of the prestigious Red Dot Design Award, one of the most respected and well-known design awards in the world.
Since 1955, the Red Dot Design Award has recognised design excellence in a variety of industries. Over the past decade, Slovenian companies have become strong competitors for this coveted recognition. They know that design increases the value of products and has a positive impact on business. When faced with two products of equal value in the same price range, design plays a decisive role in the purchase decision. Design, as experts point out, is not just art, but a harmonious combination of technology and aesthetics.
SPIRIT Slovenia is building on this with its communication campaign "I FEEL SLOVENIA. GREEN. CREATIVE. SMART." expands the visibility of Slovenia and its economy abroad. As part of the campaign, 41 ambassadors of the green, creative, and smart Slovenian economy were selected to actively participate in numerous promotional activities for the Slovenian investment and business environment in foreign markets. Together, they have positioned Slovenia on the global map of economically successful countries.
Among the ambassadors of the Slovenian economy are 15 companies that have been proud holders of the Red Dot Award for several years and have repeatedly received recognition for their creativity, outstanding design, and excellence. These companies repeatedly demonstrate their commitment to innovation, aesthetics, and design excellence. The recognition of the Red Dot as one of the most prestigious design awards in the world is reflected in the commercial success of these award-winning companies.
