Event Details

The ambition to reach a net-zero emitting European economy by 2050 will require taking a fresh look at the full suite of solutions needed. As a wide range of sectors faces the challenging task to adjust their business strategy and comply with the climate-neutral trajectory outlined by the new Commission, the German-Slovene Chamber of Commerce and Industry invites you to our Green Deal Meetup – a content-filled networking event to actively discuss the challenges, new solutions, and fresh perspectives needed to achieve climate neutrality.

The event will combine an inspirational round table discussion with contributions from policymakers and renowned industry representatives as well as networking in the beautiful surrounding of the Brdo Congress Center. A more detailed program will be published soon.
