Since we want to support our development cycle with the best possible financial instruments, members of the Epeka Association will participate in the event “From Investment Idea to Successful Financing”, organized by SID Bank (Slovenian Export and Development Bank, d.d.).

Planning new investments, development projects or finding appropriate sources of financing for business growth and expansion are key steps for the long-term success of any advanced company.

SID Bank has prepared new financing programs aimed at supporting companies in various stages of development. At the event, we want to gain key answers and insights that will help us in the next steps:

  • Overview of new opportunities: We will learn about four concrete financing programmes to support investments, research and innovation projects, working capital and special liquidity needs.
  • Expert guidance: We will learn how to choose the most appropriate form of financing according to our current needs and development phase.
  • Practical tips: We will gain valuable advice on how to comprehensively prepare a project for successful financing and what funders pay the most attention to when assessing projects.

The program offers an exceptional combination of institutional and practical experience:

  • Simon Šimonka, Director of the Finance and Marketing Department at SID Bank, will present the new programs and explain how companies can directly incorporate them into their development plans.
  • Through an introductory conversation with Melita Kolbezen (Advica) and Peter Ribarič (Planet GV), we will listen to real experiences and practices of companies in the preparation of more demanding investment projects and successful fundraising.
