Untold Tales

of the Slovenian Economy

How exactly can we present our small country’s economy as transpar- ently as possible to a large global business community? This has been an ongoing issue in preparing the articles for Discover Slovenia. When collecting information from Slovenia’s most successful exporters, we learned a lot, and the untold tales are related herein.

I’ve been a journalist for almost my entire career, for the most part covering business and economics; in recent years, however, while work- ing at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, I’ve made a great many new discoveries, including the stories surrounding numerous successful enterprises, which I’m sure most Slovenes aren’t familiar with.

So, why do so many successful Slovenian companies have such a low profile?

Thirty or forty years ago, this land was probably best identified by Elan skis and Gorenje household appliances. Slovenes, like most nations, are forever proudest of their strong consumer brands: the Americans are proud of IBM, the Germans of BMW and Audi, the Slovenes of Elan…

However, it was back then that the emergent Slovenian economy spawned what has now developed into its driving force and the motor for future economic development. As technology creators and compo- nent suppliers, Slovenia’s prolific SMEs are today filling numerous niche markets, developing and delivering their products and services to com- panies with strong global and regional brands in every sector imagina- ble. These same companies have also rescued Slovenia from recession.

Today the Slovenian economy is showing renewed vigour, and its most innovative and successful enterprises are active in such areas as sustainable mobility, smart homes, wellbeing, IT solutions, smart electronics, special materials, indeed, a great many specialist fields and niche markets. Due to its strategic position – at the northernmost reach of the Mediterranean and the intersection of European transport corridors linking the Baltic and the Adriatic and the Mediterranean with Central Europe – Slovenia is also an important partner in the provision of maritime and overland logistics services.

Slovenian components and semi-manufactures are built into numerous world-renowned consumer goods, and Slovenes have every reason to be proud of their contributions to the products of Audi, Mercedes, Škoda, VW, Porsche, Renault, Peugeot, Citroën, Aston Martin, Mini, Nissan, Chevrolet, Alfa Romeo, Honda, Kawasaki, KTM, Yamaha, Vespa, Ducati, Aprilia, Suzuki, Bentley, Ferrari, Dacia, Hyundai, Kia, Jaguar, Land Rover, Chrysler, Ford, Toyota, Fiat, DAF, MAN, John Deere, Goodyear, Bridgestone, Volvo... just to mention some of the automotive sector manufacturers who have found reliable partners in Slovenia.

Bosch and Novartis-Sandoz have both established development centres in Slovenia for their consumer products. In conjunction with Panasonic, Gorenje is developing new smart household appliances, while the country’s own multi-national pharmaceutical company, Krka, is penetrating new markets.

Although this country continues to maintain and develop strong B2C brands across a number of sectors, Slovenia is – for the most part – a land of strong and competitive B2B enterprises. Many of their stories, tales of the Slovenian economy are worthy of celebration. Discover them herein!

Why Do Business in Slovenia?

Katarina Klepec

Foreign investors appreciate the excellent geostra- tegic location of Slovenia as well as the quality and relatively low cost of its labour force.

According to the OECD, Slovenia is a relatively highly developed country. On the basis of compe- tences, some well-established sales channels and numerous intangibles, a number of its sectors and industries enjoy a competitive advantage. A survey of members of the Slovenian Foreign Investors Forum reveals that 77 percent of those asked would choose Slovenia again as an investment destination.

According to this survey, the main reasons underpin- ning investment are:

1. Quality of labour force 2. Cost of labour

3. Access to know-how and technology

4. Access to, or increase in, share of the Slovenian market

5. Good geographical location and communications infrastructure

Slovenian enterprises tend to make very good business partners for foreign investors; according to SPIRIT Slovenia, the national public agency for entrepreneurship, they tend to exhibit the following strengths:

1. Innovativity, adaptability, openness and reliability

2. A large number of internationally recognised names and brands in many areas

3. Advanced hi-tech solutions and high-quality production processes

4. Brisk pace of innovation 5. Broad ecological awareness.

The Slovenian Foreign Investors Forum (SFIF) comprises 30 Slovenian companies in foreign ownership. This group was formed with the intention of improving the business environment for all Slovenian enterprises. In the most recent reporting period (2014) SFIF companies accom- plished aggregate sales revenues of 5.3 billion euros, equivalent to almost one-third of that of all foreign-owned companies and 7% of the private sector as a whole. In total they employ more than 24,000 workers and attain a value-added per em- ployee which is 60% above the national average for the private sector. Their aggregate investment is in the region of 320 million euros, representing some 40% of total foreign investment in Slovenia.

Total social contributions from salaries paid to the state in 2014 amounted to 200 million euros.

Last, but by no means least, they remunerated 24 million euros in taxes on corporate income.

Foreign Investors

Appreciate Know-How

and Development Competencies

Numerous Slovenian institutions are involved in developmental breakthroughs

Slovenia as a small market doesn’t allow a foreign investor to generate an adequate return on their investment solely through servicing the needs of the local market. Every potential investor in Slovenia needs to plan their investment in consideration of market penetration beyond this country’s borders, and, in this context, identify the advantages offered by the Slovenian business environment. Such advantages lie mainly in its skilled labour force.

Slovenia benefits from a very well developed research infrastructure, with numerous institutions achieving global breakthroughs in technologically demanding fields. The geographic location of Slovenia is also a significant element, and, with the benefit of a good communications infrastructure, facilitates the development of pertinent service sector activities. The distinctive export orientation of the Slovenian economy today offers numerous opportunities, particularly with respect to the traditional connections and relations with the western Balkans and the broader region. Indeed, the process of bridging this economic gap will in itself engender higher rates of growth.

Vojmir Urlep, Lek

Competence – there’s nothing more valuable in the long run I strongly advocate investment in Slovenia, and believe that any foreign investor will, from the outset, encounter a professional attitude, technical competence as well as motivation and loyalty at every level of an organisation.

In my assessment, which is based on decades of experience in multinational manufacturing concerns, there is nothing more valuable.

Branko Rožič, Količevo Karton Specific knowledge

In addition to this country having a highly qualified labour force and its economic integration into the single European market, foreign entrepreneurs and industrialists choose to invest in Slovenian enterprises because it facilitates access to specific knowledge and skills.

Denis Mancevič, SIJ

Highly skilled labour force

The advantages of Slovenia for investors are manifested in several areas. We have a quality labour force, rich not only in knowledge but also in numerous skills. We have a developed regulatory framework and infrastructure, as well as transport and strategic connections with regional markets. Slovenia’s geographic position makes it an excellent base for access to the EU markets of central and southern Europe. And last, but not least, Slovenia is a safe country, distinguished by both a quality of life and relatively high standard of living.

Janez Bojc, Žito

Distribution throughout the Adriatic region

Based on my experience, foreign companies invest in Slovenia for two major reasons: to distribute their products across the broader Adriatic region, and to benefit from a well-educated and qualified workforce. The most successful long-term investors perform a combination of R&D and value-adding manufacturing operations. In my opinion, in order to attract more investment, Slovenia needs to reduce the tax burden of those sectors achieving high value-added.

Samo Hribar Milič General Manager of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia The future belongs to the intrepid, the swift and the innovative. As in sport, where at the Olympic Games this nation was in terms of medals per capita on top of the world, Slovenia is, at this moment, on the way to the very top as regards its economy.

Of course there is still a lot to be done, but we are prepared and well-capable, as has indeed been proven by the resilience which effected the country’s recovery from the great recession that followed the 2008 financial crash. In 2009, Slovenia sank into an economic and social crisis that was actually deeper than that suffered by most other EU countries. The underlying economic problems of the 2004-2008 period were exacerbated by falling GDP, inappropri- ate financing, ballooning public expenditure and a long-standing failure to implement essential eco- nomic reforms. The level of indebtedness became unsustainable, the economy contracted, and five years of agony ensued.

Eventually the sun finally broke through the clouds. The economy was restructured and delev- eraged, and companies embarked on the more am- bitious penetration of those foreign markets which were exhibiting an upturn. This new economic cycle, which commenced at the end of 2013, has been characterised by stable growth predicated on an extraordinary rise in exports. In the past year, foreign investment and domestic demand have also shown signs of reawakening.

Slovenia’s size and geostrategic location leave it no choice but to internationalise and fully engage itself in the global economy. Such has indeed been the case since independence and the breakup of former Yugoslavia which resulted in the loss of its traditional markets. It was then that the Slovenian economy first underwent rapid restructuring on its path to joining the EU, since which time it has enjoyed numerous new competencies, challenges and opportunities.

In Pursuit of Economic Development

Photo: Barbara Reya

Such history now forms the basis for the further development and nurturing of an entrepreneurial spirit with a global reach. Most opportunities, how- ever, are fairly close to home and lie in the further exploitation of European markets, which already account for more than 80 percent of Slovenia’s international trade. It is also pleasing that trade with non-European countries is now growing faster than that with European states.

Indeed, there are still plenty of challenges every- where, particularly with regard to the markets of Lat- in America, Africa and the Middle East where there is no state support network to promote or protect Slovenian business, or to work towards the elimina- tion of double taxation as well as other protectionist obstacles. In fact, all too often the Slovenian entre- preneur has been left to their own devices.

We are pleased that this unsatisfactory situation has now been recognised by the government, which is endeavouring to realise a number of bilateral agreements. In addition, Slovenia anticipates the expansion of its commercial diplomacy network into a number of countries around the world which are recording rapid economic growth and, as such, represent potential new markets.

The attitude to foreign investments and investors has also changed. Foreign-owned enterprises, which today number over 8,000 with many more than this enjoying foreign capital stakes, generate over twenty percent of Slovenia’s GDP, as well as account for nearly thirty percent of its exports.

Slovenia is on the way to an economic renais- sance. Benefiting from homogenous legislation customs regulation and standards, the local market extends beyond the borders of this nation and its neighbours; indeed, in the context of the single mar- ket, it today embraces the entire European Union.

Slovenia is on the way to the very top as regards its economy.

A Favourable Outlook for a 40 Billion Euro Economy

Increased competitiveness and improving consumer spending are twin forces of progress.

Bojan Ivanc, CCIS Analytics

In the context of a double-dip recession, Slovenia’s economy started to recover during the second half of 2013. Shrinking consumer expenditure and a down- turn in the construction sector were offset by rising competitiveness and, accordingly, more pronounced exports. Manufacturing exports and rises in receipts from tourism and transport services increased the current account surplus to a remarkable 8% in the first half of 2016, a level similar to that of Nether- lands and Germany.

EBITDA from corporate sector sales and invest- ments have improved markedly since 2012, whereas the gross operating rate has surpassed the pre-crisis level due to more favourable dynamics in com- modity prices. Slovenian companies now have high capacity utilization while the increasing order book is expected to drive commercial investments going forward. In addition, debt repayment is reducing indebtedness and companies have rebuilt their cash buffers, which are today at a record high.

Outlook for the coming two years remains favourable and overall risks are deemed to be diminishing. GDP growth of between 2 and 2.2% is anticipated, with consumer spending, exports and private investment identified as the main drivers.

Manufacturing, transport and tourism together with private healthcare are currently the sectors pushing the economy forward. Real estate and retail are an- ticipated to bounce back following years of hardship.

Nevertheless, risks remain, a number of which derive from the consequences of the diesel emissions scandal, whereas Brexit is not an issue for Slovenia’s economy. Household savings and corporate reserves (accounting for half of GDP) coupled with the long- term nature of sovereign debt are expected to act as an additional buffer in the event of any downturn in the international environment. We are therefore rather optimistic in relation to Slovenia’s 40 billion euro economy, and anticipate that the development gap vis-à-vis the EU-28 shall continue to close.

Go International

Looking for partners in Slovenia? The Centre for In- ternational Business is the right address for those in need of specific information on individual markets.

In addition to its numerous commercial contacts, the Centre also boasts knowledge and insight into the business culture and customs of foreign markets, as well as provides information on current tenders. All who are interested in co-operation with Slovenian companies can turn to the Centre for International Business, which will share information with mem- bers of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. In addition to providing information on the Slovenian market, the Centre also provides support to foreign enterprises and institutions in finding new partners.

The Centre is responsive, creative and up to date;

at the same time it ensures that all its partners are treated individually, case by case.

Informal meetings. Under the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, representatives of foreign companies have the opportunity to partic-

ipate in informal meetings with Slovenian business- people and the business community. The purpose of such discussions is to bring together all those who have specific knowledge, especially in relation to for- eign markets, products, services and niches related to internationalisation, as well as all those Slovenian enterprises which are looking to develop and apply such skills in the future.

More than 100 international events are organized annually by the Centre for International Business;

these include incoming and outgoing business delegations, seminars and monthly B2B networking.

The Centre also provides personalised services for companies, including individual counselling, search- es for contacts, together with the provision of market information and intelligence.

Strengthening exports. The Centre for Internation- al Business at the Slovenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry plays a key role in enhancing the inter- nationalization of the Slovenian economy. One of its objectives is to increase the number of exporters, with a major emphasis on strengthening the exports of small and medium-sized enterprises. In addition to increasing the value and yield from Slovenian exports, the Centre endeavours to strengthen the presence of Slovenian exporters in their traditional markets, as well as help position them in new pro- spective ones.

Go International Slovenia is a programme of activities divided into four groups of measures;

specifically, the preparation of enterprises for entry into foreign markets, assistance with their actual entry into new markets, strengthening a presence in longstanding and traditional markets, and the introduction of more advanced forms of internation- alisation. During 2017, the Go International Slovenia programme plans to focus in particular on emerging markets, as well as European markets, with a specific emphasis on Southeastern Europe and the Western Balkans.

Excellent SME Certification

The certificate enables potential investors and business partners verify a company’s existence, its actual web address, and, most importantly, its cre- ditworthiness. Daily monitoring and the credit report produced by COFACE Slovenia provides the basis for certification.

Differentiate in cyber world. SafeSigned™ website technology prevents the Excellent SME Slovenia quality seal from being copied and used on any other website. By installing and using the certificate, potential and existing partners can differentiate online between the most successful and the less reliable companies with an internet presence.

In conjunction with the renowned global credit insurer COFACE, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia is now issuing Excellent SME certificates to Slovenia’s most successful small and medium-sized enterprises.

Successful SMEs. Trusted, reliable and safe – these are the qualities attributed to those companies hold- ing the certificate. Its main purpose, concurring with EU directives on support to small and medium-sized enterprises, is the recognition of secure reliable businesses and good practice, as well as a means of increasing market transparency. In addition, certification facilitates trade and investment through decreasing exposure to financial and other risks when doing business.

The Centre provides information on the Slovenian market and support to foreign enterprises and institutions in finding new partners.

The certificate enables potential investors and business partners verify a company's creditworthiness.

More than

4,500

Slovenian exporters are listed in the database catalogue.

SloExport:

All Major Slovenian Companies in One Place

SloExport is a database catalogue containing infor- mation on more than 4,500 Slovenian exporters. It is a tool which foreign businesses, interested in com- mercial co-operation, may use to search for informa- tion on individual Slovenian companies. Its purpose is to promote entrepreneurship, internationalisation, foreign investment as well as the development and transfer of technology.

How to use the Catalogue

The catalogue allows the user to search in either of two ways, namely, simple and advanced search modes. The simple search is suitable for fast queries, and the user can search using one or more keywords or an exact phrase. Enabling the application of more specific criteria, the advanced search option is the right choice for a precise investigation and the provi- sion of detailed information.

SloExport Users may also search per individual areas and

fields. Upon clicking on a sector, such as agriculture, an alphabetical list of companies involved in that sector is displayed. Another search criteria allows users to select the region or country to which Slove- nian companies export.

All the necessary information is available for each enterprise. Among other things, users may find all contact information, address and the region in which the company operates; the information on the proportion of exports in revenue, the countries to which the company exports, and the countries in which it would like to export. The data also includes a presentation of the company and their products.

EUROCHAMBRES acts as the eyes, ears and voice of the business community at the EU level. EUROCHAM- BRES represents over 20 million businesses in Eu- rope through 45 members (43 national associations of chambers of commerce and industry and two transnational chamber organisations) and a Euro- pean network of 1,700 regional and local chambers.

More than 93% of these businesses are small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs). Chambers’ mem- ber businesses have over 120 million employees.

As an influential voice of the European business in Brussels, it strives to improve the general conditions in which businesses operate, to facilitate access to markets within and beyond the EU and to ensure the availability of human, financial and natural resources.

INTERNATIONAL CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (ICC) ICC is, and has been throughout its long existence, a steadfast rallying point for those who believe, like our founders, that strengthening commercial ties among nations is not only good for business but also for global living standards and for peace. To that end, ICC provides a forum for businesses and other organizations to examine and better comprehend the nature and significance of the major shifts taking place in the world economy. As a recognised partner of UN, WTO and many others, it strives to break down barriers to international trade and investment.

It publishes a number of invaluable model contracts and uniform rules and customs.

In addition to the membership in Eurochambres, ICC and the co-operation based on bilateral agreements with different chambers of commerce and industry, the CCIS branch associations are linked within the wide framework of international branch associations.

Our Industry’s Recipe:

Mix Discipline of the North with Creativity of the South

Competitive, stubborn and eager for success

Slovenes attribute themselves a lot of adjectives, mostly negative. But I believe that we are competitive, stubborn and eager to succeed. If we add to the mix a knowledge base, some ability and flexibility, then success can’t be far away. Indeed, Slovenes never settle for an average product or service if they can get a better one, even though it may not be “made in Slovenia”. Success shall best be supported through a change of mentality in the sense of opening the door, transferring best practices into Slovenian enterprises, together with the radical curtailment of envy, which undoubtedly stands in the way of progress.

Andrej Poklič, GKN Driveline Slovenia

What counts is not just growth, but also the speed of growth

Today, there’s not so much difference between large and small companies, though there is a difference between fast ones and slow ones. What counts in the market is not just growth, but the speed of growth. Business processes evolve increasingly rapidly, particularly so with regard to high- tech products where their lifecycle is only about three years. The Slovenian economy has successfully adapted to this reality. Leaders search for new ways, and through innovative approaches shorten the path linking the product with the consumer. In conjunction with committed co-workers, we establish such strategies as digitization and Industry 4.0. Working together, we write a successful story. 

Marko Lotrič, Lotrič Meroslovje

Innovation within niches is a key to success

The success of Slovenian industry can be attributed to its specialisation and penetration of global market niches where, through rivalry with the competition, it consolidates. Slovenian enterprises are far smaller than any global multinational and are consequently better prepared to listen to clients as well as provide solutions tailored to their specific requirements. The key to success are ever better and more innovative solutions.

Dr. Jožica Rejec, Domel Holding

Order, discipline, creativity and adaptability

Slovenian industry is most successful when able to combine the order and discipline of the north with the creativity and adaptability of the south, this with an ability to listen and thereby recognise and satisfy the wishes of the client.

Radovan Bolko, Kolektor Group Highly qualified and motivated people are our advantage

Slovenian industry is export-oriented; high quality standards are the norm in exports, for which reason Slovenian industry is also successful. Business is about people, and personally I believe that the

advantage of Slovenian enterprises lies in their highly qualified, motivated and target oriented personnel.

In this respect I would specifically point to the culture of company loyalty. Building loyalty is a long process based on mutual trust; the companies that succeed in this are also successful in the long term.

and Industry of Slovenia Did you know that Ryanair’s new time-saving secure booking platform is a Slovenian product? Perhaps you are aware that almost all the world’s car manu- facturers use Slovenian manufactured components in their vehicles? Well, you must have heard of the leading Slovenian exhaust system used in many of the world’s fastest motorcycles and cars.

These are just some of many examples of the international recognition of Slovenian products.

Canon, Swiss Post, Konica Minolta and Raiffeisen Bank, amongst numerous others, use a Slovenian engineered system for the remote access and control of computers. A number of the world’s premier marinas use a Slovenian software solution in their management; Slovenian components are integrated in North Sea wind farms; Apple’s new training centre in California’s Silicon Valley boasts Slovenian-made stone tables with a unique surface protection.

Slovenia is a nation of niche leaders, and a num- ber of its companies are development and compo- nent suppliers integrated into international value chains.

This country is also an important research and development centre for the world’s second largest pharmaceutical multinational, Novartis. Slovenia’s other pharmaceutical company, Krka, holds over 350 drug patents around the world, and currently more than 600 of its professionals are engaged in some 180 development projects. The BSH Group, which manufactures kitchen appliances for Bosch and Sie- mens, has its development centre in Slovenia.

Slovenia – A Nation of Niche Leaders

The future is going to be even more interesting.

For instance, at this very moment a new generation of refrigerators is being developed which shall pro- vide their users warnings as to the use of products stored inside, an innovation that will contribute to a substantial reduction of food waste.

So, what engenders and underpins this success?

Slovenia has good infrastructure, and the Slovenes are a nation of innovators, forever able to find solutions even for the greatest of challenges. Our companies systemically co-operate and establish partnerships with institutes and universities. The vast majority of this country’s population speaks at least one foreign language, and there are many who speak two or more.

This magazine provides a lot of similar stories and we invite you to read them; indeed, you may well find a new business partner within!
