OUR STORY
Zasavje was an economically and technically extremely strong region, but began to lose power as it transitioned into a new country. One by one, companies closed down - STT, Peko, Iskra, Furniture Factory, TET, Ipoz, RTH ... Valleys fell into apathy, young people emigrated ...
But the rest is what the wind doesn't take away, fire doesn't take away, earthquakes don't collapse and economic situations don't change: real values, innovative people, hard work and kameratšaft (camaraderie).
On these foundations, we are revitalising a region that, with the City of Acrobats, is becoming a centre of technological development and innovation, unique not only in Slovenia, but also in Europe.
