IMB Students at the 12th Italian Business Forum
IMB Students at the 12th Italian Business Forum
At the 12th Italian Business Forum, an important contribution comes from research carried out within the IMB Programme. Students from the 32 Generation (2024/25) have been exploring the growth potential of Slovenia’s deep tech, green tech, biotech, and space tech ecosystems.
Their research focuses on the development of innovation ecosystems, the institutional and financial frameworks that support them, the importance of collaboration between industry and academia, and the ways in which smaller economies can successfully position themselves within global value chains.
By combining academic research, business case analysis and policy perspectives, the IMB students contributed to the broader dialogue on how emerging technologies can foster sustainable economic value and long-term development.
The research was presented at the forum by representatives of the 32nd IMB generation: Tomás Miklič, Nadina Salemović, Julija Pletenac, Adam Čeru and Christian Lasalvia.
