The Ljubljana University Incubator

The University of Ljubljana follows the modern trends of promoting entrepreneurship among students and academics.

For this purpose, we established the Ljubljana University Incubator (LUI). Good ideas, produced during the course of the study process, should be put into practice.

The Ljubljana University Incubator offers all-round support for start-up companies. In this way, it helps them overcome initial problems.

LUI Activities
Currently, the LUI includes 18 companies and 6 entrepreneurial groups. The most promising ones, such as Zemanta and MountVacation, have already made a breakthrough in the Slovenian and foreign market and obtained important investments for the development of their projects. The somewhat younger but very successful Uniki was selected from 21 finalists in the prestigious Seedcamp competition in 2008.

The LUI offers young people business premises, infrastructure and entrepreneurial advice, which is the key to starting a new business. A fundamental mission of the LUI is also to establish the effective and rapid transfer of knowledge and technologies from the centres of knowledge to the economy. To this end, we hold entrepreneurial workshops and similar activities on a regular basis to promote the establishment of research start-up companies. To raise entrepreneurial awareness, we also regularly hold various social events with business content.

If you have an interesting idea or would like to put it into practice, you are welcome to join us. We will help you develop your business idea, make a business plan and find suitable candidates for cooperation.

We also organise free workshops for anybody who is interested in entrepreneurship and possibly in setting up a company. For more information about the workshops and how to apply for them, send an e-mail to

Information about how to draw up a business plan, how to start a company and more is available at the website of the Ljubljana University Incubator.
