Impact Hub Slovenia Named Among Europe’s Leading Start-up Hubs by the Financial Times
Impact Hub Slovenia has been featured in the Europe’s Leading Start-up Hubs 2026 rankings, compiled by the British newspaper Financial Times in collaboration with research firm Statista and the start-up media outlet Sifted.
The list highlights the 180 most influential incubators and accelerators in Europe that contribute significantly to the development of the entrepreneurial ecosystem. The selection is based on recommendations from start-ups, the quality of support programmes, and expert assessments of each organisation’s impact on company growth and internationalisation.

A Validation of Quality and Long-term Vision
This ranking represents significant international recognition of our work. For years, Impact Hub Ljubljana has been building an environment where entrepreneurs receive more than just a workspace; they gain comprehensive support. This ranges from structured programmes—such as the Social Impact Award, Impact Launchpad, and Impact Next—to mentorship, access to a network of experts, and connections with investors and international partners.
We place a particular emphasis on companies with a clear social or environmental impact. We believe the future of entrepreneurship lies in sustainable, responsible, and globally-oriented solutions—and it is exactly these types of stories that are emerging within our community.
Community as the Key to Success
The ranking does not merely measure the scale of programmes, but primarily focuses on start-up satisfaction and recommendations. This is what matters most to us. It demonstrates that our support is relevant, professional, and tailored to the real-world needs of entrepreneurs.
This achievement is the result of collective effort: our team, mentors, partners, and, above all, the founders who co-create our ecosystem with their ambitious ideas and courage.
Looking Ahead
We will continue to develop our programmes, strengthen international connections, and create opportunities for Slovenian start-ups, enabling them to successfully integrate and establish themselves within the wider European space.
Impact Hub Ljubljana remains a place where ideas come to life, businesses grow, and the community creates a long-lasting impact—both at home and abroad.
