We attended the Slovenia-Japan Business Forum

At yesterday’s Slovenia–Japan Business Forum at Vila Podrožnik, we had a good debate on stage with colleagues from Toyota Adria, Cargo Partner, and Slovenske železnice.

Our discussion centered on the future of mobility and logistics, and one thing became clear: hydrogen and advanced technologies are not distant possibilities. They are becoming the backbone of a more resilient, sustainable economy.

At HIPROJECT , we believe that cross-border cooperation is key to scaling solutions that will define how industries move, transport, and grow in the decades ahead. The Slovenia–Japan partnership is a strong foundation for making this transition a reality. And because this partnership matters, I’ll be traveling to Japan with part of our team next week to continue building these bridges.

In industry, we want to collaborate on: • Equipment modifications enabling up to 50% reduction in gas consumption, CO₂, and emissions • Hydrogen as a green energy source • AI-driven automation, robotization, and humanoid robots • Fully autonomous production processes
