At EBAN, we take pride in representing the voice of Europe’s early-stage investment community, and we were honored to participate in the Investors Edge Conference, part of the Slovenian Startup Forum. This dynamic gathering brought together investors, entrepreneurs, and key policymakers to advance Slovenia’s bold ambition of becoming a leading startup hub in Europe.

The event showcased innovative solutions, inspiring discussions, and actionable insights on creating a thriving investment ecosystem. Our Director General, Jacopo Losso, and President Jesper Jarlbæk actively contributed to conversations on fostering cross-border collaboration, syndication opportunities, and the crucial role of angel investors in driving impactful growth for early-stage ventures. A special thanks to EBAN Vice President and Treasurer Nina Dremelj for hosting us and contributing her expertise to the discussions. The conference provided a platform for exchanging ideas on cross-border collaboration, syndication, and the key role of angel investors in driving early-stage growth.

Slovenia’s startup landscape is brimming with potential, and it’s encouraging to see stakeholders uniting to double the number of startups and amplify venture capital opportunities. At EBAN, we believe that angel investors are pivotal in this journey, providing not only capital but strategic guidance and mentorship.

We are excited to continue partnering with Slovenia and its vibrant investment ecosystem, working towards a stronger, more connected European startup landscape. Here’s to more meaningful partnerships and groundbreaking innovations ahead!
