The German-Slovene Chamber of Commerce cordially invites you to the New Year's Kick-Off Event to be held virtually on January 13th 2022.

We live in times of great unpredictability and radical changes. Adaptability and sustainable innovation are becoming key elements in which we can turn current challenges into new business opportunities. In the spirit of adapting to the current situation, we also creatively adapted the concept of our traditional New Year's reception. Within a virtual event on 13 January 2022, we will present sparks of inspiration for 2022 and the winner of the German Economy Award for the year 2021.
