FINANCIAL INCENTIVES

The Grant Scheme in place since 2000 aims at motivating and facilitating investment. It is in line with national and EU state aid legislation. The aim of these incentives is to lower the cost threshold for new entries into the manufacturing and service sectors that allows them to compete in international markets.

The purpose of the Invitation for Applications is to boost attractiveness of Slovenia as a location for foreign direct investment by lowering entry (start-up) costs to the investors whose investment will have a positive impact on new employment, knowledge and technology transfer, facilitation of balanced regional development, and will foster alliances between foreign investors and Slovenian companies.

Grants are available for investments in:
  • industry

  • strategic services (Customer Contact Centres, Shared Services Centres, Logistics and Distribution Centres, Regional Headquarters)

  • R&D


  • In the year 2009, there are allocated EUR 5,000,000.
