challenging businesses to go further faster in their efforts to be more sustainable Multidisciplinary professional services organization Ice cream innovations from Ajdovščina conquer the world Incom has experienced its fair share of difficulties since it began in a garage in 1989 It is Slovenia’s largest producer of ice cream and frozen confectionery under its own brands Leone and Leone AL!VE As an innovator and producer of ice cream for other brands the company exports more than two million ice cream cones tubs and other varieties all over the world every day It has more than 400 employees and invests profits into innovation and development “We are currently in the initial phase of the ‘Smart Factory’ project which introduces a high degree of automation into the production process This year’s revenue will reach €66 million we have achieved €10 million gross surplus compared to last year,” explains owner Andrej Slokar innovation and interpersonal relations with family members and employees more than profits alone From a garage to freezers all over the world Andrej first began working for the Fructal company he realized that he wanted to create something of his own Although his idea did not attract much enthusiasm at home together with a friend he established a business in their garage in 1989 but it was enough for a living for my family and me,” explains Andrej who had learnt a few things about entrepreneurship in his previous job “I started to produce small amounts of ice cream – just enough for one point of sale – and found that I was very good at it I soon started gathering other people around,” adds Slokar They started with the production of regular ice cream in tubs they produce more than two million ice cream and frozen products every single day and export them to 36 countries across the world Andrej remains modest: “I wanted to be a manufacturer I’m an entrepreneur because I’m not skillful with my hands despite the fact that at the beginning pack them in the afternoon and load them in the evening.” I’ve always asked myself two questions: ‘Why should customers buy from us and not from someone else?’ and ‘Why would someone come and work for me?’ The essence of their philosophy was to build a company Incom is not particularly well-known in Slovenia as their products are mostly exported abroad Ice creams and other frozen products are sold under their own brands Leone and Leone AL!VE They are also offered as private labels under other brand names “Our philosophy was not only to penetrate the market but to set up a thriving company,” explains the Director He also adds that if they focused only on their own brand it would take decades for it to establish itself on the global market the company was able to develop much faster with their products sold under the aegis of well-established brands and a well-oiled marketing machine He is developing new and innovative products for multinational companies We don’t only run our own production but also our own engineering development and building production lines ourselves We have hardware and electrical project designers and also programmers Everything we do is aimed at being exclusive,” he describes the recipe for success is to trust in people When Andrej started to build his own company he motivated people so that they believed in achieving success: “I’m the kind of person who is easily inspired I very much like this child-like trait and if I don’t see passion in a person He tried to inspire his children to work in the family-owned business “I never understood why people kept telling me to let the kids themselves decide what they want to do helped and guided so many doors are open for them,” he adds He never pushed them to work for the family business but he kept telling them how lovely it would be if the family-owned business could be continued by them which manufactures ice cream in the shape of unicorns soccer balls and ladybugs and produces licensed products under the brands Frozen his son Rok works as head of the entire production-technical department has found her interest in accounting and finance started working for the company as a “jack-of-all-trades” and then slowly specialized in different areas He is enthusiastic about his work as it constantly presents new challenges: “We never get bored we innovate on a daily basis.” Following the clearly-defined path his father has created certainly isn’t easy but he manages to stay on it with a passion for challenges “The job is interesting but also bears great responsibility Our company is the largest in town and therefore has an important social role to play Many locals work here – entire families even,” he explains The company is strongly-connected to the environment in which it operates It also provides scholarships to local athletes supports sports in general and particularly the basketball club it also provides support to the local choir and other institutions When we cease to find enthusiasm and passion Andrej says that he built the family business on three core values: integrity This is also facilitated by responsible leadership: “I set up the company in a way that is professional and well-managed It has a director and heads of departments whereas I withdrew from management five years ago.” The company has been reorganized and adjusted to its rapid growth and development even greater investment is devoted to employee training “Organizing people is one of the key ingredients for success,” Andrej adds employees should be motivated and when they face problems “You have to trust them and give them tasks that are a bit more complex than they believe they are capable of dealing with happy and satisfied doing this job,” he tells us “When running a business and hiring people I’ve always asked myself two questions: ‘Why should customers buy from us and not from someone else?’ and ‘Why would someone come and work for me?’ If I didn’t have the answer to that in the long-run it can also become something important at the national level when you take a look at how much family-owned businesses contribute to GDP,” he explains The company’s capital is constantly in circulation: “With us goals are clear and we do not take money out of the company Hence that is why we grow so fast,” the owner adds and warns that economies of scale are dangerous and need to be managed wisely “I don't want to live from economies of scale but rather from the price difference that rests on knowledge and less on pure muscle,” he points out motivated and encouraged to do more than they believe they are capable of You have to trust them and give them tasks that are a bit more complex than they believe they are capable of dealing with They wish to sell knowledge in the future  the company is focused on its five-year Smart Factory project Increased automation through robotics was approached with caution as they want to maintain their identity “Too high a level of automation can to some extent infringe flexibility,” warns Andrej Another challenging project is the creation of new products and the introduction of new technology into development The owner does not want the company to constantly increase its gross product turnover but rather to reach its optimum size and then aim for strong development potential: “I also wish to make profit from our know-how The company is full of smart people so we ought to start selling knowledge It makes no sense to sell only hands-on products and nothing else.” of the member firms of Ernst & Young Global Limited The green and whites will return to the league scene with a match against Primorje who made his 100th appearance for the Dragons in the cup match against Beltinci “I am very happy and honored to have achieved this number in the Olimpija jersey Thank you to everyone for the incredible support in these three seasons where we celebrated many incredible victories and I hope there will be even more in these final weeks of the season as we attack the double crown.” “The match with Primorje will certainly be difficult It’s an away game in a very specific city and our memories of the

Ajdovščina is a humble town in the Vipava Valley region of Slovenia, close to the border with Italy. Locals know the Vipava valley for the excellent wines it produces - as well as prosciutto to rival that of its famous neighbour. But Ajdovščina has another distinction: it has become an unlikely hub for the collection of plastic trash from around the world. Each year, around 40,000 tons of old fishing nets, synthetic carpet, and textile offcuts arrive at a warehouse on the outskirts of the town. They come from as far afield as Cameroon, Thailand, New Zealand, America, and China - but the warehouse isn’t the final stop on their journey. Lake Bled, SloveniaThis tiny country in Central Europe has become an unexpected hub for a pioneering circular economy project that’s turning waste into a brand-new resource. “Normally you take raw materials from the planet, you make products and you landfill them,” says Giulio Bonazzi, chairman and CEO of Aquafil. “But instead of using oil, we use waste.” The affable Italian gestures at a huge repository of discarded products - enormous bales of green netting, thickly braided rope, giant bags filled with scrap material, and musty bundles of carpet. All of them share one thing in common - they’re made of nylon - the core material in Aquafil’s global business. However, over the same period, nylon’s reputation has shifted. Yes, it is a wonder material that can be fashioned into everything from women’s stockings to molded machine parts, but it is also a product of the petrochemical industry. Thanks to its ubiquity and resilience, nylon now permeates the entire planet, along with other popular plastic polymers like polyester. The company’s new partnership with Prada is helping to take the concept of circularity mainstream. According to Lorenzo Bertelli, Prada Group Head of Marketing and Communication, the company plans to switch all of its virgin nylon to Re-Nylon by the end of 2021. “The Prada Re-Nylon project highlights our continued efforts towards promoting a responsible business and this collection will allow us to make our contribution and create products without using new resource,” he says. “Nylon is an iconic product for Prada, so the fact they use ECONYL for their applications presents a great opportunity,” says Bonazzi. “These beautiful products that Prada is making - they come from trash. That’s really like modern day alchemy.” This tiny country in Central Europe has become an unexpected hub for a pioneering circular economy project that’s turning waste into a brand-new resource This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks The action you just performed triggered the security solution There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page Ajdovščina has invited residents to apply to connect to five solar power plants it intends to install in cooperation with GEN-I 0 After a successful pilot project – the first self-sufficient energy community in Slovenia – GEN-I now plans to equip five more public buildings in Ajdovščina with solar panels by the end of 2023 to will be available to all interested consumers according to an announcement from the municipal authorities The five solar power plants will be able to supply 100 homes The total projected installed capacity of the five facilities is 870 kW but GEN-I will look for interested parties outside the municipality if there is not enough interest in Ajdovščina The call for non-binding applications is open until September 15 but GEN-I will look elsewhere if the demand is weak The facilities where the solar power plants will be installed include two schools the local authority said the advantages of connecting to a solar power plant would include savings in electricity costs In 2021, GEN-I launched a solar energy service for self-consumption for households that were unable to install photovoltaic panels on their own roofs The GEN-I’s Solar Community project allowed citizens to lease solar panels 05 May 2025 -

The World Economic Forum’s site has a profile of a plane from Israeli company Eviation It seats nine and can travel close to 650 miles Electric flight is still developing, which means there are hiccups. The Verge has a story on a demo flight that crashed into a Norwegian lake recently (the two people on that plane survived unharmed) It comes as the country aims to make all domestic flights electric by 2040 I asked Warwick how much of a setback the crash was and he pointed out that plenty of loss-of-power incidents happen with fossil fuel-powered flights Finally, going from electric planes to electric cars, CNBC reports that Tesla is now offering its own car insurance But the company said it’ll expand to other states The company said its plans could cost as much as 30% less than
