Initiative overview

The P2 programme aims to accelerate the growth of innovation-driven companies in Slovenia by providing targeted financial and advisory support. The programme focuses on helping start-ups and early-stage companies develop, test, and bring innovative products to market, including solutions that leverage artificial intelligence.

Key objectives include:

  • Co-financing product development – reducing financial barriers for companies creating innovative technologies.
  • Supporting commercialisation – helping start-ups move from prototype to market-ready solutions.
  • Promoting AI and advanced technologies – ensuring new products incorporate cutting-edge digital solutions where relevant.
  • Strengthening the start-up ecosystem – encouraging entrepreneurship and collaboration among SMEs, research institutions, and investors.

By combining funding with guidance, the P2 programme facilitates faster innovation cycles, supports high-potential technology ventures, and strengthens Slovenia’s competitiveness in the digital and AI sectors.
