Starting in their own region, they coordinated policy-makers, companies and stakeholders from a diverse range of fields to make structured and long-term investments in large community projects that go further than good intentions.
Začela sta v svoji regiji: uskladila sta oblikovalce politik, podjetja in interesne skupine iz širokega razpona področij, da so podprli strukturiranine in dolgoročne naložbe v večje projekte za skupnost, ki segajo dlje od dobrih namenov.
Atalanta Sports also wants to reach its goal in a socially responsible way: believing that sports must be financially accessible for all, it has a strong focus on the lower socio-economic groups and migrants.
V Atalanta Sports želijo svoj cilj doseči tudi družbeno odgovorno: ker so prepričani, da mora biti šport vsem finančno dostopen, namenijo velik poudarek nižjim družbenogospodarskim skupinam in priseljencem.
Entrepreneurs are important to society because …We are dare-devils!
Podjetniki so pomembni za družbo, ker…Sva drzneža!
Where others get frightened or depressed by a situation, we are challenged.
Kadar nek položaj druge spravi v strah ali obup, ga midva dojameva kot izziv.

“You are what you make of yourself.”
„Si to, kar narediš iz sebe.“
Lorenzo Mulè Stagno started his career as a mathematics teacher in governmental secondary schools, yet today he is the director of the communications firm Business Marketing Services (BMS).

What was the event that inspired you to start your own business?
Kaj vas je navdahnilo za lasten posel?
In 1990, I migrated from a sheltered life in Malta to a large city in Germany.
Leta 1990 sem zaščiteno življenje na Malti zamenjal z življenjem v velikem mestu v Nemčiji.
This adventure lasted for one year, but I learnt many lessons from it: not to take things for granted, to feel ok about quitting and failure, not to give up at the first hurdle and to be proactive.
Ta pustolovščina je trajala leto dni, iz nje pa sem se veliko naučil: stvari niso samoumevne, ni treba, da se počutiš slabo zaradi umika in neuspeha, ne smeš se predati ob prvi oviri in delovati je treba proaktivno.
After living in Germany for a year in the early 1990s, he returned to Malta to join some friends in opening a publishing and advertising agency.
Po letu dni, ki ga je v začetku devetdesetih let minulega stoletja preživel v Nemčiji, se je vrnil na Malto in skupaj s prijatelji ustanovil založniško in oglaševalsko agencijo.
Almost a decade later, the company formed a strategic alliance with a business consulting and market research firm called Allied Consultants (AC).
Skoraj desetletje pozneje je agencija sklenila strateško povezavo s podjetjem za svetovanje in tržne raziskave Allied Consultants (AC).
BMS is now a successful niche communications firm, which applies marketing theory as well as its know-how for the market.
BMS je danes uspešno podjetje za nišne komunikacije, ki uporablja tako teorijo trženja kot svoje znanje in izkušnje s trgom.
In developing your products and services, have you been using any national or regional support programmes?
Ali ste v razvoju proizvodov in storitev uporabljali kakšen nacionalni ali regionalni podporni program?
Being strong believers in consultancy, we obtained free consultancy through European Social Fund (ESF) for the advertising and publishing units.
Svetovanju pripisujemo velik pomen, zato smo prek Evropskega socialnega sklada (ESS) zaprosili za brezplačno svetovanje za oddelka za oglaševanje in založništvo.
We are also in the process of applying for some European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) grants for the creation of an e-business portal for our business and management training, and our market research and business consulting units.
Smo tudi v postopku za pridobitev subvencij Evropskega sklada za regionalni razvoj (ESRR) za vzpostavitev poslovnega portala za naše poslovno in poslovodno usposabljanje ter za naše oddelke za tržne raziskave in poslovno svetovanje.
Lorenzo’s entrepreneurial experience involved building the management training unit within AC and launching the Malta Business School.
Lorenzove podjetniške izkušnje so vključevale oblikovanje oddelka za usposabljanje poslovodnih delavcev v podjetju AC in ustanovitev poslovne šole Malta Business School.
Being a teacher at heart, he uses both academic and practical knowledge to give real-life lessons to would-be entrepreneurs and start-up companies.
Ker je učitelj po prepričanju uporablja tako akademsko kot praktično znanje za podajanje lekcij iz resničnega življenja nadobudnim podjetnikom in novoustanovljenim podjetjem.
How to overcome a crisis:Do not panic, keep your brain working, be creative and try to find opportunities even in a crisis.
Kako premagati krizo:Samo brez panike, ne prenehajte napenjati možganov, bodite ustvarjalni in poskušajte najti priložnosti tudi v krizi.
What would be your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?You need equal doses of passion and reason.
Kaj bi svetovali nadobudnim podjetnikom?Potrebujete enaka odmerka strasti in razuma.
Do not be afraid to fail and take the plunge.
Ne bojte se neuspeha in tega, da storite odločilen korak.

“It will be tough and require a lot of work and dedication, but if it is your dream … go for it!”
„Težko bo, potrebno bo veliko dela in predanosti, a če so to vaše sanje … se potrudite, da jih uresničite!“
The event that inspired me to start my own business … … was when the company I had worked at for a decade ceased its operations in Iceland.
Dogodka, ki sta me navdihnila za ustanovitev lastnega podjetja,……to se je zgodilo, ko je podjetje, za katerega sem delala celo desetletje, prenehalo obratovati v Islandiji.
I regarded this as an opportunity to challenge myself and to start a business based on my own skills and vision.
To sem dojela kot priložnost, da si zastavim izziv in začnem s poslom, ki bo temeljil na mojih lastnih sposobnostih in viziji.
Nox Medical was founded in Iceland in 2006 by a group of engineers, medical professionals and investors with extensive experience in the field of sleep diagnostics.
Nox Medical je leta 2006 ustanovila skupina inženirjev, zdravstvenih strokovnjakov in investitorjev z bogatimi izkušnjami na področju diagnostike motenj spanja.
The mission of the company is to develop the next generation of sleep diagnostic systems based on the latest advancements in the fields of electronics, wireless technology and software architecture.
Poslanstvo podjetja je oblikovati novo generacijo sistemov za diagnostiko motenj spanja, ki temelji na zadnjih dognanjih s področja elektronike, brezžične tehnologije in razvoja programske opreme.
Nox Medical’s innovations in improved sleep diagnostics contribute to better health by making it more simple, efficient and comfortable to diagnose sleep disorder breathing in all types of patients, especially children.
Inovacije podjetja Nox Medical za izboljšanje diagnostike motenj spanja prispevajo k boljšemu zdravju, saj je z njimi mogoče laže, učinkoviteje in udobneje ugotavljati motnje dihanja v spanju pri vseh vrstah pacientov, še posebej pri otrocih.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is … … the opportunity to improve the quality of life for some of the millions of people suffering from sleep disorders.
Kaj je za vas najboljša priprava za novega podjetnika?Imejte jasen cilj, dober poslovni načrt in dober tržni pregled, naučite se, kako voditi svoje podjetje.
The team used to work for another company, but was fired when the company was relocated to another country.
Ekipa je pred tem delala za drugo podjetje, ki pa je bila odpuščena, ko so ga prestavili v drugo državo.
The team then decided to start up its own company, the mission statement of which is described with the words „Sleep for all”.
Njeni člani so se nato odločili, da ustanovijo lastno podjetje, njegovo poslanstvo pa označuje geslo „spanje za vse“.
Entrepreneurs are important to society because …… they plant the seeds of the future.
Podjetniki so pomembni za družbo, ker……oni so tisti, ki sejejo seme prihodnosti.

About a dozen financing partners (between students from both schools and some teachers) joined efforts to make it happen, and they got the final impulse by a start-up programme called FINICIA run by IAPMEI, that encourages micro venture capital operations.
Začel se je kot pobuda univerze v Lizboni, da bi v otrocih zbudili zanimanje za znanost z razvijanjem znanstvenih igrač. Nastalo je partnerstvo s poslovno šolo ISCTE (Univerzitetni inštitut v Lizboni), skupina študentov pa je predlagala, da bi iz dejavnosti in izdelanih proizvodov ustvarili posel.

Podjetje RIMA, ki je z montažno gradnjo začelo v devetdesetih letih minulega stoletja, je bilo eno prvih v Sloveniji na področju suhomontažne gradnje in spuščenih stropov.
Eventually, RIMA offered a complete portfolio of construction services.
Sčasoma je podjetje RIMA začelo ponujati celotni razpon gradbenih storitev.
What were your biggest fears when starting your own business? Initially that there will not be enough work.
Česa vas je bilo ob ustanovitvi lastnega podjetja najbolj strah?Sprva to, da ne bo dovolj dela.
Then that I would not be able to succeed in a male-dominated industry and have to deal with non-ethical partners.
Nato pa, da mi ne bo uspelo v industriji, kjer prevladujejo moški, in da bom morala poslovati z neetičnimi partnerji.
Its innovation has brought the company significant success in Slovenia.
Inovacije so prinesle podjetju v Sloveniji precejšen uspeh.
One example is RIMA Mobile homes, which are mobile units for both leisure and business purposes.

AirFlowControl is a thermal energy-saving system based on the management of the required ventilation and smoke ejection openings in elevator shafts.
AirFlowControl je sistem varčevanja s toplotno energijo, ki temelji na upravljanju potrebnega prezračevanja in odprtin za odvajanje dima v jaških dvigal.
2 also positive effects regarding comfort, cleanliness and improved air
Pozitivni učinki se kažejo tudi v udobju, čistoči in izboljšani kakovosti zraka v prostorih, ki so zraven dvigal na posameznih nadstropjih.
The person and event that inspired me to start my own business … In 2004, the first time in my career, proud to work for my multinational employer, I had serious differences on ethical values with my General Manager.
Oseba ali dogodek, ki me je navdihnil za lasten posel… 2004. leta, ko sem prvič bil ponosen, da delam za multinacionalnega delodajalca, sem se resno razšel s svojim generalnim direktorjem glede etičnih vrednot.
Luckily I took part in self-development training on“Decide for yourself – before others do it for you”. I went home – and so I did!
Na srečo sem se udeležil tečaja za usposabljanje samega sebe„Odloči sam zase – preden to drugi storijo zate!“ Odšel sem domov in naredil točno to!
The investment costs per elevator shaft amounts to €2,500, with an average return on investment coming in under two years.
Stroški investicije na jašek dvigala znašajo 2.500 €, s prednostjo, da se investicija povrne v manj kot dveh letih.
Field tests have shown that annual savings may exceed €5,000 per elevator shaft, depending on the dimensions of the shaft and the architecture of the buildings.
Terenski preskusi so pokazali, da letni prihranek lahko presega 5.000 € na jašek dvigala, odvisno od mer jaška in arhitekture stavb.
5,000 to 10,000 units are expected to be sold in 2010.
Pričakujemo, da bomo leta 2010 prodali od 5.000 do 10.000 enot.
In the beginning, we were scared to share our business idea with anyone to prevent our business model from being copied.
Na začetku smo se bali poslovno idejo deliti s komer koli, ker smo želeli preprečiti posnemanje poslovnega modela. To je bila napaka.
Our research and development could have been more efficient and cost-effective if we had sought official support from existing programmes, which are generally driven by experienced and available professionals!
Naše raziskave in razvoj bi bili lahko učinkovitejši in stroškovno ugodnejši, če bi poiskali uradno pomoč obstoječih programov, ki jih praviloma vodijo izkušeni strokovnjaki, ki so prosilcu vedno na voljo!
What would be your advice to aspiring entrepreneurs?A good business idea can be the trigger for starting a business.
Kaj bi svetovali nadebudnim podjetnikom?Dobra poslovna ideja je lahko sprožilec za zagon podjetja.
But the humility, the ongoing internal reflection, as well as the capacity of the general manager to involve and assist his employees – that is the key to an ongoing and profitable business!
Vendar so pa ponižnost, stalno notranje razmišljanje, in tudi sposobnost generalnega direktorja, da vključi svoje zaposlene v delo in jim pomaga – ključ do trajnega in uspešnega podjetja!
Has the recent economic crisis affected your business strategy in any way?Meeting a crisis immediately after our first company’s kickoff was not a gift.
Ali je zadnja ekonomska kriza kakor koli vplivala na vašo poslovno strategijo?Srečanje s krizo takoj po prvi odpremi ni bilo ravno darilo.
We enforced our strategic orientation to services & products even stronger linked to energy efficiency. Thus another three recently created companies are born thanks to opportunities offered by the crisis. 61
Ojačali smo strateško usmeritev na storitve in proizvode, ki so še bolj povezani z energijsko učinkovitostjo.

Preprosto sem bil prepričan, da bo delovalo.
I was simply convinced it would work.

Naša strategija je še vedno ista.
GEA was founded at a time when the footwear sector in Europe was already in a crisis.
Podjetje je bilo ustanovljeno v času, ko je obutveni sektor v Evropi že zajela kriza.
In the last ten years the company has been able to grow each year, from 12 employees at the beginning to 120 now.
V zadnjih desetih letih je podjetje raslo vsako leto, od začetnih 12 zaposlenih na današnjih 120.
This was made possible through fair cooperation, authenticity in marketing and the establishment of the company’s own distribution channels, i.e. setting-up shoe shops in a number of bigger cities.
To nam je uspelo s pomočjo pravičnega sodelovanja, pristnega oglaševanja in ustanovitve lastnih distribucijskih kanalov podjetja, tj. odprtja trgovin z obutvijo v več večjih mestih.
