In the important Polish regional capital city of Wroclaw the grand opening of the "SLOVENIAN CENTER – I FEEL SLOVENIA" took place on Sunday. Much like the national team's matches at the European handball championship, the center worked towards Slovenia's promotion as it combines the country's sports, business, investment and promotional interests. The opening and reception of the president of the Handball Association of Slovenia, Mr. Franjo Bobinac, was attended by members of the Slovenian handball team, organizers, business people, partners and supporters.

The events continued yesterday with the "Day of Investment Opportunities" which presented investment opportunities in Slovenia and Poland, the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) and examples of best practices. The President of the PanSlovenian Investors' & Shareholders' Association (VZMD), Mr. Kristjan Verbič, also presented their international business-investor programs: Invest to Slovenia – investo.si and International Investors` Network –invest-to.net, including the premiere of a special presentational video. As the partner of the business center in Wroclaw, the VZMD's team has also been in attendance to effectively present the companies, institutions, and investment projects included in investo.si and invest-to.net, as well as to provide the exclusive video coverage for investo.TV.
