Every Acrobat needs a hangar in which to develop and create. But he also needs an environment that provides him with all the services he needs to educate himself, to keep his company and his products in top shape. All this is available to him in the City of Acrobats. Above all, it is an environment where Acrobats are understood and valued.

Dewesoft renovated most of the buildings of the failed companies and brought content into them (former Iskra, Peko, Strojna tovarna Trbovlje), a total of 12,000 m² of space. In addition to Dewesoft's growth, we have a growing number of outstanding Acrobats and their breakthrough products, leading to a permanent shortage of space. We have therefore decided to build a larger complex, called City of Acrobats.

Everything for product and business development in one place - ttesting, prototyping and product development, excellence in materials and technologies, shared services (logistics, accounting, administration, media services, etc.), a restaurant and museum, a convention centre and school, parks and walking trails, etc. kfrom the city in a small way.

The phoenix is a mythical fire bird that, at the end of its life cycle, catches fire, burns to ashes and is then reborn from them. The sculpture by academic sculptor Zoran Poznič has found its permanent home at the northern entrance to the City of Acrobats – as a symbol of a renewed flourishing from the ashes of the devastation of the past.

There is a lot of work with the paperwork. There is a lot of work with site preparation. There is also a lot of work with obtaining all the permits. A lot of work ...
The area of the former open-cast mine, where the future of the City of Acrobats is being built on the foundation of its black gold history, is beautifully located, but with one drawback for future green parks – the soil is rather poor. Stones, clay, bits of coal… and yet we want to create large areas of pleasant greenery for walks and relaxation.
