Vanja Kavcic, editor-in-chief of Internationalis, led visitors through the Slovenian Pavilion, where green innovations stole the spotlight. From eco-friendly materials and smart water management systems to solar-powered prototypes, Slovenia showcased its commitment to a greener future.
Beyond technology, the pavilion also celebrated Slovenia’s rich cultural heritage. Traditional crafts, culinary tastings, and live performances offered a taste of its diverse traditions, creating a vibrant atmosphere that drew crowds throughout the expo.
According to Kavcic, the expo serves as a crucial platform for strengthening China-Slovenia ties. She noted that new business contacts, academic exchanges, and tourism collaborations were among the many outcomes, laying the groundwork for deeper partnerships in tech, trade, and culture.
As the expo continues, Slovenia’s blend of innovation and tradition highlights the potential for global cooperation that benefits both regions. For young entrepreneurs, thought leaders, and digital nomads, the event offers fresh perspectives on sustainable development and cross-border collaboration.
