It’s easy to connect at Podim. Amidst the growing size of other conferences, Podim retains its human scale, fostering diversity and accessibility.

I would recommend everybody to come to Podim because it’s a great ecosystem, a great network near to your and our home as well. For all the Austrians out there and all the rest of the region, join the meeting next time.

My first impression is: Wow! Superb selection of companies, typically early-stage, superbly well-structured.

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.

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

I had an absolute blast connecting with new people and attending the talks were beyond amazing, delivering incredibly valuable insights. I am already counting down the days until next year.

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

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.

Podim is one of the biggest conferences regarding startups in this region and this part of the world.

An impressive gathering of founders from the region!

I think the value of human-to-human interaction is just very difficult to replace. Even the best online interaction platforms lose a lot of that value. It’s just very different to be person-to-person.

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.
