“The core values of Podim drive us to take over the future we want to experience.” Matej Rus, Venture Factory & Podim, Slovenia
The owner and main organizer of Podim is the nonprofit institute Tovarna podjemov (Venture Factory) from Maribor. Partnerships have formed the strong foundation of Podim from the very beginning; therefore, we cooperate with different kinds of startup ecosystem stakeholders as co-organizers, partners, and supporters. Traditionally, the Slovene Enterprise Fund and the Slovenian Ministry of Economic Development and Technology are the co-organizers of the conference.
