It is ideally located, right in the middle of one of the world’s strongest economic areas. Wherever you turn, it offers a prime starting point for accessing various target markets in Europe.
One of the advantages of the Slovenian business environment, and thus Maribor, is that it is investor-friendly. This is made possible by a favorable tax policy, access to financing sources, and a highly skilled workforce.

It is an example of coexistence with nature, sustainability and a focus on responsibility towards the most valuable things that the environment has to offer. Doing business in Maribor therefore also means being in contact with the authentic nature that surrounds the city and its surroundings.
