Strategic Business Forum
Promoting cooperation in green technologies
with presentations of Slovenian companies

Foreword
Slovenia, a small Central European nation which
next year celebrates its 20th anniversary of inde-
pendence from Yugoslavia, is a green country. A re-
markable 54% of Slovenia’s territory is covered by
forests that are being shielded from extensive com-
mercial activity.
Slovenia, however, isn’t green only on the surface. It
has developed an innovative green-tech sector, dri-
ven by cutting-edge technologies. It has some truly
innovative and creative companies that are at the
vanguard of R&D in alternative energy, ecological
construction, and green engineering. Slovenian-
-produced solar panels are among the most effici-
ent in the world, for example, and there are great
innovations and new designs in ecological buildin-
gs, LED technologies, as well as small start-ups pro-
ducing innovations in engineering, the automotive
industry, and other fields.
Slovenia’s economy and its products aren’t very
well known in the States, and this is for different
reasons – among them certainly the geographic dis-
tance and the country’s focus on the Euro-zone. Giv-
en the great emphasis on green technologies in the
US, however, we are convinced that this field offers
a good way to enhance Slovenian-American busi-
ness cooperation. More than 20 Slovenian green-
tech companies interested in the North American
markets and partners are coming to New York for
the Forum.
We are grateful to our partners, the Manhattan
Chamber of Commerce, for their efforts to engage
New York’s vibrant business community. This event
would not have been possible without the Chamber
of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, the Slove-
nian Public Agency for Entrepreneurship and For-
eign Investments, and the Slovenian Embassy in
Washington. I hope that you will find this forum
informative, and that you will be able to build pro-
fessional relationships to aid you in your ventures.
Sincerely,
Melita Gabrič
Consul General a.i

3. Slovenia: The Green Gateway to Central Europe 2
The Republic of Slovenia lies at the heart of Europe,
where the Alps and the Mediterranean Sea meet the
Pannonian plains and a limestone plateau called the
Karst.
More than half of Slovenia is forested, and the Alps
cover almost a third of the country. A huge continu-
ous forest eco-system – the third largest in Europe
– provides for great hikes, a refuge for wild-life, and
an excellent preserve for nature lovers. Slovenia is a
country where in a single day one can go skiing on
high Alpine slopes, and enjoy the picturesque sea-
side towns of the Adriatic. There are plenty of excel-
lent reasons to visit Slovenia!
Slovenia has an established, competitive, flexible
economy, with a good international position. Slove-
nia is a member of the European Union, its currency
is the Euro. Slovenia’s GDP is structured as follows:
Services 58.0%, Industry 20.8%, Construction
6.6%, and Agriculture 1.8%. Its main GDP growth is
related to export activities.
Slovenia exports about 60% of its GDP: 70 % to
other European countries from where it gets 78%
of all its imports. Slovenia’s major trading partners
in 2008 were Germany, Italy, Croatia and Austria.
Slovenian companies are traditionally present in
the Balkans, and frequently serve as an entry point
for investments in the region (for example, invest-
ments in Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montene-
gro, and Croatia).
While the U.S.A. is Slovenia’s biggest non-Europe-
an trading partner, there exists much potential for
strengthening Slovenian-American business coope-
ration.
In the past decade many Slovenian companies have
led the way in minimizing their products’ ecological
footprints, developing energy-saving solutions, and
finding more economical ways to serve their custo-
mers’ needs. We hope that the »Investing in Green«
forum will help bring Slovenian and American gre-
en tech companies together – thus strengthening
cooperation and furthering the cause of sustainable
development.
