Technology Park Ljubljana

What Technology Park Ljubljana does

Technology Park Ljubljana (Tehnološki park Ljubljana d.o.o.) is a self-sustainable, non-profit private limited liability company founded in 1995 in Ljubljana, Slovenia. It operates the country's largest technology park with 32,000 m² of net business space at the Brdo location plus a secondary site on Teslova Street, hosting more than 300 member companies that collectively employ over 1,500 people. The City of Ljubljana became a shareholder in 2003, embedding the entity in Slovenia's public-sector innovation policy. The park operates a hybrid technology-hub-and-incubator model: it does not develop proprietary core technology but provides physical infrastructure (offices, specialized coworking at EUR 70/month, conference facilities, restaurant, pharmacy, kindergarten), programmatic services (BALI investment-readiness accelerator, EYE Erasmus for Young Entrepreneurs exchange, TopTech leadership programs, Starting Gun podcast), and vertical-specific communities (AI HUB Slovenija, XR Lab, DIH Healthwise, Sport-Tech Community).

The business model is multi-stream and non-profit: recurring office and coworking rentals, annual membership fees, EU project funding (Horizon, Erasmus+, Interreg, EuroHPC), and fees for acceleration and mentoring services, with BALI and EYE offered free or EU-subsidized to participants. Target customers are Slovenian startups (under 36 months), scaleups, and established technology companies across verticals including IT, industrial technology, biotech, environmental technology, digital health, AI, XR, and sport-tech. Member logos span Abelium, EKWB, geneplanet, RACI, Cosylab, and BioSistemika.

Strategically, the park has internationalized its positioning through IASP membership (Director Dr. Jernej Pintar serves as President of the European Division since 2023), EYE partnerships across 5,000+ European host entrepreneurs, and consortium membership in the EUR 150 million SLAIF (Slovenian AI Factory) project with EuroHPC JU and IZUM. Recent product moves (HERMES AI agent, AI Services Catalog, 2026) signal a shift from pure curation toward direct AI product development, while the Start-up Center (2022) and Park Gazel (2021) demonstrate segment-differentiated facility strategies. The internal team of 15-20 staff manages a broad programmatic and infrastructure footprint while operating revenues remain undisclosed.
