Learn how innovation really works

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 conference itself, the speakers, especially the matchmaking in the Deal Room, it’s amazing.

Podim is always worth the trip – great atmosphere and great crowd!

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.

You might meet someone that will literally change your life and these conferences are all about that.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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