SPIRIT SLOVENIA, PUBLIC AGENCY

SPIRIT SLOVENIA is a public business development agency, promoting the advantages of doing business in Slovenia. Since the late 1970s, when the first foreign investors came to Slovenia, the skill base remains the country’s key attraction as an inward investment location, as well as a strategic location in the heart of Europe with quality infrastructure. Skilled labour is available to a range of industries making Slovenia an excellent spot for investors to fill the talent. The quality of Slovenia's educational system allowed the workers to reach a high level of professional training. Other advantages include adaptability of companies and the workforce, business legislation, investment incentives, 19 % corporate income tax rate and investment tax allowances. Foreign investors perception of Slovenia as a host for FDI is improving as gross value added per employee keeps increasing against a backdrop of the decreasing number of employees over the past few years. Manufacturing companies lead the way in generating the highest gross value-added, and among them, large companies account for more gross value added than all other companies put together. In addition, Slovenia is reputed for placing values such as transparency, accountability and loyalty at the core of its corporate culture. This is why several renowned groups such as Bosch Siemens, Renault, Yaskawa and Magna have invested in Slovenia. Don't hesitate to contact us for more information, we look forward to working with you!
