The end of the year is reserved for award ceremonies that take place across various locations in Ljubljana. One of the most eminent venues is the Marble Hall at the GR-Ljubljana Exhibition and Convention Centre, where the FDI Award 2023 took place. The agency SPIRIT Slovenia, with the help of the Ministry of Economy, Tourism and Sport, awarded the most illustrious and successful foreign investors in Slovenia on Tuesday, 21 November.
SPIRIT Slovenia entrusted the organisation and execution of this year’s event to Creative Pro Adriatic event agency that ensured the event was technically well-supported and ceremonious with the help of the team at GR and several external service providers. The central topic of the event was Green. Creative. Smart. The event scenario revolved around visual elements that mirrored fundamental aspects of sustainable and inclusive growth. The award ceremony was accompanied by various surprises for guests, from a green carpet in front of a photo wall to a holistic and creative event design. The event was enriched by the musical virtuoso Janez Dovč, who connected the theme of sound and technology from his performance Tesla with sustainability.
The Marble Hall proved an ideal venue that offers event organisers “a la carte” outlays in line with the concept of their event. One of its greatest advantages is its superb technical equipment.
Winners announced in four categories
Over 100 hosted buyers attended the event, including numerous economics and ambassadors. The participants were greeted by the Minister of Economy, Tourism and Sport, Mr. Matjaž Han and the Vice President of the SPIRIT agency, Mr. Rok Capl. The distinguished Professor of Economics at the University of Economics and Business Ljubljana, Mr. Mojmir Mrak, presented his outlook on the future of economics to the guests. A roundtable followed the keynote speech, featuring the Minister of Foreign and European Affairs, Ms. Tanja Fajon and Mr. Matjaž Han.
The highlight of the event was the award ceremony, where winners were recognised in four categories: Spar Slovenia was awarded in the category of Significant Impact on the Slovenian Economy, the company Carthago in the category of Large Companies, the company Elan in the category Green, Creative, Smart Companies and the company Boxline in the category of Small and Medium-large Companies. The award trophies were specially designed by Jan Barič.
