Invitation: How to find suitable staff and what business opportunities do SRIP associations offer?


If you are a company or startup developing technological solutions and looking for a way to take them from the testing phase to the market, now is the right time to connect with other players in the system. Why? With new calls for proposals and programs (TRL 3-6, STEP, SRIP), Slovenia has built bridges between companies, startups, research institutions, and the state. And if you know how to get involved, these connections can lead to something very concrete.


Podbreznik Business Incubator, Wednesday, June 4, 2025, 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.

Join us at this event to learn:

What is driving the Slovenian Smart Specialization Strategy (S5)?

How to find or develop your workforce (including internationally)?

How to join SRIP associations and obtain funding?

How to connect knowledge, research, and business opportunities?


Special emphasis will be placed on practical examples and successful projects within SRIPs, such as SRIP ACS+ and DIGITOP.


The program includes presentations by the Ministry of Cohesion and Regional Development, the Novo Mesto Development Center, Rudolfovo, GZDBK, OOZNM, SRIP associations, and startup companies.


We will conclude with an opportunity for networking over refreshments!
