As part of The Investors Edge experience, participants will also visit the Cerje Monument of Peace, located on a hill overlooking the Slovenian Karst and the Adriatic region.
This remarkable location offers breathtaking views across Slovenia and Italy, symbolizing the very essence of cross-border cooperation.
During the conference, representatives of international investment networks and ecosystems will take part in the Investors Forest Initiative — planting trees as a symbol of long-term commitment, sustainable growth and collaboration between investment communities.
The Investors Forest will represent a living reminder that great investments, just like forests, grow through patience, partnership and long-term vision.
The region surrounding Nova Gorica is also home to remarkable cultural creativity. One of its most distinguished figures is Oskar Kogoj, an internationally recognised Slovenian designer whose work blends tradition, symbolism and timeless aesthetics.
Inspired by nature, heritage and the Karst landscape, Kogoj’s creations have been exhibited across Europe and are known for their unique artistic expression and philosophical depth.
Participants visiting the region also have the opportunity to explore the Oskar Kogoj Nature Design Gallery, where his works are permanently exhibited.
