Forum 100 % Start:up PLUS+ is a big business event meant for startup entrepreneurs looking for funding, mentors and programmes to make your startup dreams come true.

This spring, entrepreneurs can once again obtain Slovene Enterprise Fund’s P2 grant in the amount of 54,000 EUR, which brings quite a few novelties. Besides P2, startup companies this year can also access many other forms of help. We will present all the details at Forum 100% Startup PLUS+, which will take place on Tuesday, 12 march 2019, at Technology Park Ljubljana. We will also talk about the pre-selection process, where a presentation at the DEMO Day can bring you up to 35 valuable points in the grading for obtaining P2.

This year, Forum 100 % Startup PLUS+ brings another added value – a set of workshops, presentations and personal consultations for startup entrepreneurs. So mark 12 March 2019 in your calendars and register now. See you! 

Three reasons why you shouldn’t miss it:

1.    You get comprehensive information on public and private support programmes in a single afternoon 
2.    Possibility of personal consultation by experts on the current P2 SPS tender
3.    Valuable lessons from entrepreneurs who successfully developed and launched their product to the market

 

 

Attendance at the event is free. Due to a limited number of places, registration is obligatory!

We are also announcing a series of seven roadshow events that will be organized between 13 and 19 March in Koper, Nova Gorica, Velenje, Celje, Maribor, Novo mesto and Kranj. There, we will convince you why it’s good to join the P2 pre-selection, using interesting arguments.
