Podim is certainly THE startup event to visit in the region!

Conferences can be a great way to develop new ideas and gain experience, but PODIM is a level higher.

I’m overwhelmed by the spirit and energy, the number of people interested in innovation and over a thousand people that are into this entrepreneurial culture.

If you are an early-stage investor looking for startups from Eastern Europe, this would be a place to come evaluate companies.

This is one of the best events there are in terms of making new connections.

Multiple nationalities, multiple different sectors, industries, viewpoints on different topics and just generally a great place to meet new people.

The event where you can meet investors, corporates, other startups and definitely make a lot of meetings for your potential business.

Maribor is a beautiful city and even If you don’t have any meetings or anything, you have time to enjoy the city a little bit.

The highlight for me is just the sheer number of startups and investors. I haven’t seen this kind of concentration of both startups and investors from this region anywhere else.

Even if you’re coming from anywhere in the world and you really are looking for the next great thing, you should be here.

If you’re an entrepreneur, come talk to investors. If you’re an investor, come talk to entrepreneurs.

Come to Maribor, it’s beautiful. People are friendly, food is good, great wine. You can’t go wrong coming here even if you want to walk in the beautiful park.
