about Podim
Podim has evolved into the key regional platform for enabling learning and networking in the most valuable and time-efficient way. It is truly a life-changing experience.
Regional startup ecosystem epicenter
Podim is creating real value by bringing together and connecting renowned international investors, established corporations, and startups & scaleups from the Alps-Adriatic and Western Balkans regions. To provide maximum quality of learning and networking, we made a strategic decision not to accept more than 1,000 participants. Therefore, Podim is just the right size event to offer you easy access to personally meet top-notch speakers and get valuable time with investors, business executives, and other participants. Podim is the gateway to and from the region for efficient networking, making deals, and sharing experiences.
