Focus on infrastructure development facilitates sustainable growth and makes Slovenia a hub for serving international markets

Slovenia’s position at the heart of Europe, excellent infrastructure and cost-effective support functions suit big and small international companies plotting the course to the markets of East and Southeast Europe. The transport system consists of nearly 27,000 km of modern roads, 1,228 km of railway lines, three airports for international passenger and freight transport, an international cargo port and several smaller ports. 

Slovenia’s marinas and the Port of Koper serve the businesses in the land-locked Central European countries to send and receive goods by sea and as a starting point for family cruises or regattas. The deep-water port boast a broad line-up of facilities for the thriving container operations, auto and bulk business. It provides the shortest link for transporters to the Mediterranean, and through the Suez Canal to the Middle and the Far East. Cargo sent by train to the distribution centre in the Port of Koper travels ten days less than cargo sent by sea from North European ports. The port operator is planning a range of new facilities, as well as distribution and logistics functions to strengthen its status of an entry/exit port for the European internal market.

Slovenia’s national air carrier Adria Airways has a modern fleet that carries well over one million passengers annually aboard scheduled flights to 25 European cities. Ljubljana boasts a recently modernised airport and caters to over 1.7 million passengers, and over 17,000 tonnes of goods a year.
