World Payment Platform Stripe, one of the fastest-growing technology companies in the world, is officially established in Slovenia today. The platform enables online businesses to start and grow their business globally, and to receive payments from anywhere in the world.
The Stripe platform processes billions of dollars annually for millions of businesses, including startups and large companies such as Google, Amazon, Uber and Shopify. In Slovenia, Minimaa and Treo are already using the Stripe platform to offer their goods and services to customers worldwide.
"Slovenia has many entrepreneurial and technologically talented people and we are convinced that even more companies from Slovenia could expand globally," says Felix Huber, who leads Stripe in Central and Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. "The Stripe platform is intended to enable even more Slovene companies to export their creativity and ambition to others around the world."
