There are many attributes that make Slovenia a location of choice for a broad spectrum of investors. The country’s capital is geographically located within one- hour drive of 450 million consumers in Europe in all directions. This makes it very central for foreign investment to serve the emerging markets on the Balkans at reasonable overall business costs. Slovenia pulls much of its strength from its workforce, providing a well-educated and internationally savvy workforce; the citizens are multilingual and friendly.
Slovenia’s pivotal position at the cross-roads of transport routes, well-developed ITC and physical infrastructure, technological networks and platforms, centres of excellence and clusters as evidence of a high-level innovation activity, make it a location of choice for many types of businesses. Strong commercial contacts across Easter and Southeastern Europe, excellent infrastructure, a major Adriatic port, and a highly educated work force have attracted Alusuisse Lonza Group, Bosch Siemens, Danfoss, Deloitte&Touche, Goodyear, GKN Driveline, Grammer Automotive, Grieshaber, Gruppo Bonazzi, Henkel, IBM, Microsoft, Mobilkom, Sandoz Group (Novartis) Oracle, Renault, Intesa Sanpaolo, Sun Roller, Société Générale, TITUS International – to mention just a few.
Positive economic effects of Slovenia’s integration into the internal EU market are expected to keep its real economic growth well above 4% also by deploying the EU structural aid for technological development. Foreign investors initiating ventures of more than € 0.5 million may apply for an investment bonus package under government cost-sharing grant schemes. Effort to attract inward investment in the second part of the decade focuses on jobs created in a medium/high technology manufacturing sector, in an internationally traded service activity or in research & development.
