The Institute for Strategic Solutions (ISR) invites you to join us on Wednesday, 16 July 2025 at 11:00, at the House of the European Union (Dunajska cesta 20, Ljubljana), for the event Finance under Geopolitical Pressure, where business leaders, experts, and policymakers will discuss the future of financial operations in a rapidly changing world.
In an era of increasing global uncertainty, issues of financial resilience, security, and strategic adaptability are becoming essential for ensuring a stable business environment in the future. We believe these topics deserve a thorough, well-argued discussion that can offer reflection and possible solutions.
Together, we will address some of the key challenges, including:
- The search for new markets,
- The protection of supply chains,
- Strengthening domestic consumption, and
- Finding a balance between openness and economic security.
The keynote guest of the event will be Mr. Klemen Boštjančič, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance.
In a central conversation moderated by Tine Kračun, Director of ISR, they will comment on current global dynamics, Slovenia’s role in the emerging international order, and present both the challenges and opportunities facing the Slovenian economy in the years ahead.
We warmly invite you to attend.
