In the heart of Slovenia, an exciting project is unfolding, aimed at revolutionizing the entrepreneurial landscape of the Ljubljana Urban Region. Optimod is proud to announce our active involvement in the PONI LUR project, dedicated to helping individuals realize their entrepreneurial aspirations. The PONI LUR project is a key component of the broader initiative, "An Entrepreneurial Approach to Challenges," set for implementation across Slovenia from 2023 to 2029.

What sets PONI LUR apart is its emphasis on collaboration. It embodies a high effort to inspire, support, and empower emerging entrepreneurs. At Optimod, we are privileged to contribute, sharing our knowledge and expertise, and uniting people to devise innovative solutions to entrepreneurial challenges.

ABOUT THE PROJECT 

The core objective of PONI LUR is to spark the entrepreneurial spirit in individuals. It's designed to nurture new businesses from inception, bolstered by a thorough entrepreneurship training program and access to a network of mentors and experts. This robust support framework aims to steer participants from concept to execution, encompassing all aspects of entrepreneurship and providing co-working spaces to cultivate a dynamic community of innovators.

The project has set ambitious targets, including assisting 106 potential entrepreneurs in developing business plans and launching minimum viable products, with the goal of achieving a 30% success rate in entrepreneurial endeavors. In addition to stimulating the local economy, this initiative also moves toward a more innovative and sustainable future, backed by substantial funding from the European Regional Development Fund.
