“Once you have started there is no way back.
„Ko enkrat začnete, ni poti nazaj.
It gives meaning to your life and to the world we live in.”
To daje smisel vašemu življenju in svetu, v katerem živimo.“
What inspired me to start my own business … When I was a child, I used to go with my father, who was a doctor, to visit the houses of the fishermen on the Galician coast.
Kaj vas je navdahnilo za lasten posel? Ko sem bil še otrok, sem z očetom, ki je bil zdravnik, obiskoval domove ribičev na obali Galicije.
I could see the poor conditions in which they lived.
Lahko sem videl, v kako revnih razmerah živijo.
After carrying out a deep analysis of the economic model of our society, I came up with a model that could provide solutions to some of the problems in the traditional fishing sector.
Po podrobni analizi gospodarskega modela naše družbe sem oblikoval model, ki lahko ponudi rešitve nekaterih problemov v sektorju tradicionalnega ribištva.
Lonxanet is transforming the inadequate social, economic and environmental conditions in which traditional fishing communities operate.
Lonxanet preoblikuje neustrezne družbene, gospodarske in okoljske razmere, v katerih obratujejo tradicionalne ribiške skupnosti.
Lonxanet creates a more efficient link between supply and demand by selling directly to individuals and restaurants all over Spain.
Ustvarja učinkovitejšo povezavo med povpraševanjem in ponudbo z neposredno prodajo posameznikom in restavracijam po vsej Španiji.
Fishermen who participate in Lonxanet are shareholders, who not only increase their income, but are encouraged to transform from being “fish gatherers” to stewards of the marine environment, managing their resources and guaranteeing sustainability for future generations.
Ribiči, ki sodelujejo v projektu Lonxanet, so delničarji, ki ne povečujejo le svojih prihodkov, ampak jih spodbujamo, da iz „zbiralcev rib“ prerastejo v oskrbnike morskega okolja, ki upravljajo s svojimi viri in zagotavljajo trajnostni razvoj prihodnjim rodovom.
This has led to the establishment of a “Protected Maritime Area of Fishing Interest”, which was founded, defined and regulated by the fishermen themselves.
To je privedlo do ustanovitve „zavarovanega morskega območja ribiškega pomena“, ki so ga ustanovili, opredelili in zakonsko uredili ribiči sami.
What were your biggest fears when starting your own business?
Česa vas je bilo ob ustanovitvi lastnega podjetja najbolj strah?
My main fear was that the key actors in the project, the fishermen, would not get involved.
Moj največji strah je bil ta, da ključni dejavniki v projektu, torej ribiči, ne bodo hoteli sodelovati.
Secondly, I feared that the project could be boycotted by key people in the fishing industry.
Drugo, česar sem se bal, je bilo to, da bodo projekt bojkotirali ključni ljudje v ribiški industriji.
Finally, I was afraid that the administration would not be in favour of the initiative.
Nazadnje pa me je skrbelo še, da oblast pobudi ne bo naklonjena.
Antonio García Allut is sharing his model worldwide through RECOPADES, a network of similar traditional fishing communities in Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Uruguay.
Antonio García Allut deli svoj model z vsem svetom prek RECOPA-DES, mreže podobnih tradicionalnih ribiških skupnosti v Argentini, Braziliji, Čilu in Urugvaju.
What is the specific quality that distinguishes your product and service from its competitors?The whole model is different as its main aim is not about business, but about social transformation.
Katera posebna lastnost razlikuje vaš proizvod od konkurenčnih?Celoten model je drugačen, saj njegov osnovni cilj ni posel, ampak preobrazba družbe.
Entrepreneurs are important to society because …… in the case of social entrepreneurs, like me, we involve people to solve local and regional problems and seek a social rather than a financial benefit for our actions.
Podjetniki so pomembni za družbo, ker……družbeni podjetniki, kot sem sam, pritegnemo ljudi, da bi rešili lokalne in regionalne probleme, za svoje delovanje pa namesto finančnih pričakujemo družbene koristi.
Our aim is to humanise the economy.
Naš cilj je počlovečenje gospodarstva.

“Start small, think big and do it with passion!”
„Začni z malim, misli na veliko in počni to s strastjo!“
What inspired me to start my own business … When I was a student working with outer space design projects, I was inspired by the“everything is possible mentality”in the space sector.
Kaj vas je navdahnilo za lasten posel? Ko sem bila še študentka in se ukvarjala s projekti oblikovanja za vesolje, me je navduševala miselnost„vse je mogoče“ v vesoljskem sektorju.
One of Umbilical Design’ goals is to facilitate human life by integrating space materials and technologies into commercial, everyday products such as a ski helmet, protective clothing for smelters and equipment for extreme sports.
Eden od ciljev podjetja Umbilical Design je olajšati življenje ljudi z vključevanjem vesoljskih materialov in tehnologij v proizvodnjo komercialnih, vsakodnevnih proizvodov, kot so smučarske čelade, zaščitna oblačila za livarje in oprema za ekstremne športe.
They aim to create interesting synergies between industries that generate innovative design solutions.
Prizadevajo si ustvariti zanimive sinergije med industrijami, ki proizvajajo inovativne oblikovalske rešitve.
The company is also involved in a project with university students as part of an effort to bring space technology and business development together to create exciting jobs.
Podjetje izvaja tudi projekt, ki vključuje študente in je del prizadevanj za združitev vesoljske tehnologije in razvoja podjetij, ki bi prinesla nastanek zanimivih delovnih mest.
What were your biggest obstacles or fears when starting your own business? Other people’s mindsets.
Kaj je za vas predstavljalo največjo oviro ali strah pri ustanovitvi lastnega podjetja?Prepričanja drugih ljudi.
People told me I couldn’t start a space design company in Sweden.
Govorili so mi, da ne morem ustanoviti podjetja za vesoljsko oblikovanje na Švedskem.
Even if I am a strong advocate of listening to other people, I am glad that I didn’t listen on this occasion!
Čeprav močno zagovarjam to, da je treba prisluhniti drugim, sem vesela, da jih v tem primeru nisem poslušala!
Umbilical Design is one of ten companies in Europe that were chosen to participate in a technology transfer initiative coordinated by the European Space Agency.
Umbilical Design je eno od desetih podjetij v Evropi, ki so bila izbrana za sodelovanje v pobudi za prenos tehnologije, ki jo usklajuje Evropska vesoljska agencija.
In developing your product/service (s), have you been using any national/regional support schemes/programmes for small and medium-sized enterprises?Yes, over the years Umbilical Design has got support for different innovation projects from Almi and Innovationsbron.
Ali ste v razvoju proizvodov in storitev uporabljali kakšno nacionalno ali regionalno podporno shemo ali program za MSP?Da, v minulih letih je Umbilical Design za različne inovacijske projekte prejel podporo Almi in Innovationsbron.
For our major project called “Down to Earth – Commercializing Space Technologies for a Sustainable Earth”, we are working together with Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) and have received support from the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket).
Pri našem najpomembnejšem projektu z naslovom „Nazaj na Zemljo – komercializacija vesoljskih tehnologij za trajnostni razvoj Zemlje“ sodelujemo z mednarodno poslovno šolo Jönköping International Business School (JIBS) in prejemamo podporo Švedske agencije za gospodarski in regionalni razvoj (Tillväxtverket).
We plan to showcase the first sustainable ideas and concepts based on space technology and materials at World Expo 2010 in Shanghai.
Načrtujemo predstavitev prvih trajnostnih zamisli in konceptov, ki temeljijo na vesoljski tehnologiji in materialih, na svetovni razstavi World Expo 2010 v Šanghaju.
What would you tell another entrepreneur who is faced with a crisis?I once heard an artist say,“Change is always positive”.
Kaj bi svetovali podjetniku, ki se sooča s krizo?Nek umetnik je nekoč dejal:„Sprememba je vedno pozitivna“.
I have adopted that quote as it helps me to keep things in perspective, even in a crisis.
Sprejela sem to misel, ker mi pomaga, da vidim stvari v pravi luči, tudi v krizi.

“Nothing is unreachable.”
„Nič ni nedosegljivo.“
The persons who inspired me to start my own business …After years of working in Switzerland, I decided to start my own business.
Renova proizvaja omete, barve in lake izjemne kakovosti. Vsi proizvodi so na naravni osnovi, ekološko usmerjeni in ne vsebujejo kemikalij, ki bi onesnaževale okolje.
My parents didn’t want me to stay in Switzerland any longer, so thanks to them, my final decision was to return home at the end of 1991 and to start my business in my native country.
Prispevajo tudi k energijski učinkovitosti in so obstojni tudi v najskrajnejših vremenskih razmerah.
All products are naturally based, ecologically-friendly and do not contain chemicals that pollute the environment.
Oseba ali dogodek, ki me je navdahnil za lasten posel…Po več letih dela v Švici sem se odločil, da začnem s samostojnim poslom.
The products also contribute to energy efficiency and remain durable in most extreme climate conditions.
Starši niso želeli, da bi še ostal v Švici, tako da gre njim zahvala za mojo dokončno odločitev, da se vrnem domov konec leta 1991 in zaženem podjetje v rojstni državi.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is … … that entrepreneurs with quality business ideas are essentially the instigators of society’s overall growth.
Zame je najboljša stvar pri podjetništvu……da so podjetniki s kakovostnimi poslovnimi zamislimi pravzaprav gonilna sila splošnega razvoja družbe.
The company uses lime rock from nearby Sharr Mountain as the base for many of its products.
Osnova številnih proizvodov podjetja je apnenec z bližnje Šar planine.
Used for building and painting walls since ancient times, this rock is characterised by its unique whiteness as compared with other types of lime in the region.
Za ta kamen, ki se je v gradnji in za beljenje zidov uporabljal že v davnini, je značilno, da je neprimerljivo bolj bel kot druge vrste apnenca v regiji.
Renova not only invests in its factories, it also invests in the future of the population.
Renova ne vlaga le v svoje obrate, ampak tudi v prihodnost prebivalstva.
In 2005, Renova established a foundation, which has awarded 94 university students and 65 secondary school students with scholarships.
Leta 2005 je ustanovila sklad, ki je podelil štipendije 94 univerzitetnim študentom in 65 srednješolskim dijakom.
My advice to those people who are considering starting their own business … … is to be determined and to believe in their goals, because they will face many obstacles from the authorities.
Moj nasvet tistim, ki razmišljajo o lastnem poslu, je……treba je biti trdno odločen in zaupati v svoje cilje, saj organi oblasti pred vas postavljajo številne ovire.
With persistence, though, they will achieve their goals.
Z vztrajnostjo pa boste cilje tudi izpolnili.
What would you consider to be the best preparation for becoming an entrepreneur?The best teacher is practice – especially in taking risks and clearly setting goals.
Kaj je za vas najboljša priprava za novega podjetnika?Praksa je najboljša učiteljica – še posebej pri tveganjih in zastavljanju jasnih ciljev.
Entrepreneurs should have a clear vision as they strive to reach their goals.
Podjetniki morajo imeti jasno vizijo, ko si prizadevajo, da bi dosegli zastavljene cilje.

“I view setbacks as chances, not as defeats.”
„Na neuspehe gledam kot na priložnosti in ne kot na poraze.“
Umut Karakaş is the daughter of a working-class Turkish family who migrated to Germany.
Umut Karakaş je hči iz turške delavske družine, priseljene v Nemčijo.
She first began working at Data4u as a research assistant to support herself through university.
V inštitutu Data4u je začela delati kot asistentka za raziskave, da si je pomagala ob študiju na univerzi.
Being a female from an ethnic minority in a male-dominated sector meant that her rise in the company was not easy, yet today she owns 50 per cent of the company and is one of its directors.
Kot ženska in pripadnica narodnostne manjšine v sektorju, kjer prednjačijo moški, se v podjetju ni zlahko povzpela, pa vendarle je danes njegova 50-odstotna lastnica in ena od direktorjev.
What is the specific quality that distinguishes your service from its competitors?
Po kateri posebni značilnosti se vaše storitve razlikujejo od konkurenčnih?
Data4u is the only market and opinion research institute in Europe that focuses exclusively on the ethnic minority markets (especially Turkish, Russian and Polish ones).
Data4u je edini inštitut za tržne in mnenjske raziskave v Evropi, ki je usmerjen izključno na trge narodnostnih manjšin (še posebej turške, ruske in poljske).
The work of Data4u builds bridges between cultures, countries and clients.
Delo inštituta Data4u gradi mostove med kulturami, državami in strankami.
My business was built with a lot of caution and vision, and with our work on ethnic minorities we found the right niche.
Moj posel je bil zgrajen z veliko previdnosti in vizije, z našim delom na področju narodnostnih manjšin pa smo našli pravo tržno nišo.
Since 1991, Data4u Marketing and Media Research Institute have provided businesses with the expertise and execution they require to gain a competitive advantage.
Od leta 1991 inštitut za trženje in medijske raziskave Data4u nudi podjetjem strokovno znanje in izvedbo, ki ju potrebujejo za osvojitev konkurenčne prednosti.
With a team of specialised and diverse staff, Data4u also connects businesses in Germany with markets in Turkey and vice versa.
Z ekipo specializiranega in raznolikega osebja povezuje podjetja v Nemčiji tudi s trgi v Turčiji in obratno.
The service that Data4u provides to businesses is unique, as the company has the data that businesses need to reach their target markets among ethnic minorities across Europe and Turkey.
Storitve, ki jih Data4u nudi podjetjem, so edinstvene, saj ima inštitut na voljo podatke, ki jih podjetja potrebujejo, da bi dosegla svoje ciljne trge med narodnostnimi manjšinami po vsej Evropi in v Turčiji.
My advice to those who are considering starting their own business …Achieving success in business is like a menu with a lot of ingredients: creativity, effort, fun, knowledge and the courage to believe in your own ideas.
Moj nasvet tistim, ki razmišljajo o lastnem poslu, je…Poslovna uspešnost je kot recept s številnimi sestavinami: sem sodijo ustvarjalnost, trud, zabava, znanje in pogum, da zaupaš v lastne zamisli.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is …… the joy I have while working and the freedom to make my own decisions.
Zame je najboljša stvar pri podjetništvu……veselje, ki ga čutim ob delu, in svoboda pri sprejemanju lastnih odločitev.

“If you dare to dream about something,you are able to make it come true.”
„Če si upate sanjati o nečem, potem ste sposobni to tudi uresničiti.“
What inspired me to start my own business … After Lithuania regained its independence in 1990, the economy collapsed.
Kaj vas je navdihnilo za lasten posel? Ko je Litva leta 1990 ponovno postala samostojna država, se je njeno gospodarstvo sesedlo.
I had to invest all of my life savings, because in those days, banking was quite primitive.
Moral sem najti način, kako preživeti, in zagon lastnega podjetja je bil moja rešitev.
Audrius Kavolis made and exported furniture until orders dried up in 2009 due to the financial crisis.
Audrius Kavolis je izdeloval in izvažal pohištvo, dokler niso leta 2009 zaradi finančne krize naročila usahnila.
He decided to look for a new market, which led him to design a new style of rabbit hutch, which is superior to the hutches typically used in Europe.
Odločitev, da bo poiskal nov trg, ga je privedla do oblikovanja novega sloga zajčnikov, ki prednjači pred tipičnimi zajčniki, ki se uporabljajo v Evropi.
The hutches allow rabbits to breed in a more spacious, humane and sanitary environment.
Ti zajčniki zajcem omogočajo razmnoževanje v bolj prostornem, bolj prijetnem in čistejšem okolju.
They have an energy-efficient heating system for northern climates, which encourages baby rabbits to grow faster, thus making rabbit meat production a viable business for those who use the hutches.
Imajo energijsko učinkovito ogrevanje, primerno za hladnejše podnebje, ki spodbuja mladiče, da rastejo hitreje, s čimer postane proizvodnja zajčjega mesa dobičkonosna za podjetja, ki uporabljajo te zajčnike.
The company is making its contribution to sustainable development by providing employment to local residents in the rural community where its operations are based, as well as supplying locallygrown rabbit meat, which is a healthier alternative to shop-bought, mass-produced beef or pork.
Česa vas je bilo ob ustanovitvi lastnega podjetja najbolj strah?Moj največji strah je bilo investicijsko tveganje, povezano z nabavo opreme in objektov, potrebnih za nov posel. Moral sem vložiti vse življenjske prihranke, saj je v tistem obdobju bančništvo delovalo precej primitivno.
In developing your product/service(s), have you been using any national/regional support schemes/programmes for small and medium-sized enterprises?
Podjetje prispeva k trajnostnemu razvoju s tem, ko ponuja zaposlitev lokalnemu prebivalstvu v podeželni skupnosti, kjer ima sedež, pa tudi k ponudbi lokalno pridelanega zajčjega mesa, ki je bolj zdrava alternativa v trgovini kupljeni, masovno vzrejeni govedini ali svinjini.
In 2008, my company participated in the Local Employment Initiative, using EU Structural Funds administered by the Lithuanian Labour Exchange.
Ali ste v razvoju proizvodov in storitev uporabljali kakšno nacionalno ali regionalno podporno shemo ali program za MSP?Leta 2008 je moje podjetje sodelovalo pri lokalni pobudi za povečanje zaposlenosti z uporabo strukturnih skladov EU, ki jih upravlja Litovski zavod za zaposlovanje.
As a result, 8 employees work with safe, modern wood-working equipment.
Rezultat tega je, da 8 zaposlenih varno dela s sodobno opremo za obdelavo lesa.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is …… the complete absence of monotony.
Zame je najboljša stvar pri podjetništvu……popolna odsotnost enoličnosti.
There is always something new to learn, to see and to discover.
Vedno je nekaj novega, česar se lahko naučite, kar lahko vidite in odkrijete.
Each day is different.
Vsak dan je drugačen.

“The future has to pass the past; no innovation will be the last!”
„Prihodnost mora prehiteti preteklost, nobena inovacija ne bo zadnja!“
What were your biggest obstacles when starting your own business? The main obstacle was my age.
Katere so bile največje ovire, na katere ste naleteli, ko ste ustanavljali lastno podjetje?Največja ovira je bila moja starost.
Because I was so young, most of the companies I approached did not have confidence in me or my ideas.
Ker sem bil tako mlad, v večini podjetij, s katerimi sem se dogovarjal, niso zaupali vame ali v moje zamisli.
In his second year at TOBB University of Economics and Technology (Ankara), Sedat Kiliç established his own company to distribute the energy efficient, gas-saving system for welding machines which he had developed.
Sedat Kiliç je v drugem letniku študija na Univerzi TOBB za ekonomijo in tehnologijo v Ankari ustanovil lastno podjetje za distribucijo energijsko varčnih sistemov za varilne stroje s prihrankom plina, ki jih je razvil sam.
With the support of university staff, he was able to upgrade the system to provide gas savings of up to 90 per cent.
S podporo osebja univerze je sistem nadgradil tako, da je pri varjenju mogoče prihraniti do 90 odstotkov plina.
The system also reduces the amount of harmful gases that workers inhale while operating the machinery and protects the environment by stopping harmful gas flows.
Sistem zmanjšuje tudi količino škodljivih plinov, ki jih delavci vdihavajo pri delu s stroji, in varuje okolje, saj odpravlja škodljive izpuste plina.
