In collaboration with the municipality of Slovenj Gradec and the broader community, Smart Village SUN Team designed a hybrid ecosystem Smart Village SUN, where this future is already manifesting and offering numerous collaborative opportunities.
The initiative is perfectly aligned with the execution of the Deep Demonstration program led by Climate KIC, in the scope of which Slovenia is on the road to becoming the first country in the world with a completely circular economy. It’s also placed in the collaborative context of the Slovenian Dutch Business Platform and development institutions in both countries.
The realization of the objective is possible only by implementing top solutions and breakthrough innovations in places that offer human potential, natural resources and the will to make a change. That’s why it’s a natural fit with the ambitious development plans of Slovenj Gradec municipality, Koroška and neighbouring regions.
Never before has a fast introduction of breakthrough innovations that address the pressing global challenges been so important. Unspoiled nature can be conserved in symbiosis with advanced technologies and through collaboration. Of course, it makes sense to first implement these innovations in a smaller environment and then scale them up to the regional level, country, EU and beyond.
The future is here and you are invited to a very special event “Sustainable. Smart. Connected” where you will get familiar with what Smart Village SUN Team is doing.
Join us online on June 6, at 11:00 CEST, online in the “Sustainable. Smart. Connected” virtual Room on SDBP digital platform and let’s make Slovenia a global leader in the smart and sustainable journey.
