PRIMIS project: we present the "Unione Regionale Economica Slovena"

WHO WE ARE

Slovensko deželno gospodarsko združenje – Unione regionale economica slovena (SDGZ-URES) is a cross-category organization that, since 1946, has been bringing together both entrepreneurs and professionals of Italy’s Slovenian community. It brings together 500 Slovenian-minority entrepreneurs and 300 Italian entrepreneurs and has long been committed to the consolidation of cross-border economic ties: the excellent relationships established with the organizations and institutions of the Republics of Slovenia and Croatia, make up a valuable element in the way of institutional contact and among these areas’ professionals. It is active in promoting the Slovenian-Italian border area for tourism purposes and organises events and initiatives aiming at promoting local gastronomy and wine, as well as improving the area’s   recognisability as a tourism destination.

WHAT WE EXPECT FROM THE PROJECT

As an association of entrepreneurs rooted in the border area between Italy and Slovenia, we expect to produce results that benefit small and medium-sized businesses in the area that work in tourism, food and wine and craft. Our dream is to make our territory more visible and more attractive for tourists from all over the world.
