Technology Park Ljubljana, another among multiple organisers, announced the first day would be dedicated to topics crucial for the growth of startups. These include an increase in private investment into venture capital and a transfer of scientific breakthroughs to the market.
An emphasis was put on closer ties within the region and easier, faster and cheaper entry of small companies into markets.
Wednesday’s part was reserved for individual meetings. The participating investors represented early-stage investing funds and private angel groups with over EUR 2 billion in investment potential.
