Slovenia’s startup underdog wins Europe’s giants

As startups from 23 countries and 53 leading VC funds and angel networks from 21 countries are to converge in Maribor for the Podim startup and innovation conference on 12-14 May, programme manager Urban Lapajne writes in an opinion piece for the Slovenia Times that the bar of excellence keeps rising in the hyper-competitive world of startup events.

Standing backstage before the first keynote at Podim, I often find myself reflecting on the invisible line that separates the best from the rest. In a world where opportunities, attention, and success concentrate at the very top, being "good enough" is no longer enough. Today, whether you're building a startup, running a company, or organizing a conference, the reality is the same: winners take all. If you're not moving forward, you're falling behind. In today's world, standing still is just another word for extinction  ,DHA Press quotes CE Report.
