Can Ljubljana become web-capital of Europe?

Filed under: zemanta — andraz @ 13:05 15. May, 2008

Location in SloveniaImage via WikipediaYesterday Cyberpipe hosted Richard Rutter from Clearleft who had presentation on web typographies. Recently a journalist from one of the big press agencies was embedded with Zemanta while he tried to find out if Slovenia might be brewing new wave of web companies to take over the world. Today there is presentation at Jozef Stefan Institute by Neel Sundaresan, director of eBay Research Labs. Cycorp decided to open their European HQ in Ljubljana. There are weekly web crowd meetings “Spletne urice” plus endless stream of entrepreneurial events. Something is up, but it is hard to point out what.

Last week web.start conference albeit happening in Croatia was occupied by Slovenians. Not to mention there are rumors floating around that another Slovenian startup called Noovo is launching next week.

When talking with smart people from the States and Western Europe there is a sentiment brewing that next big thing might come from New Europe. Saying Ljubljana is becoming web-capital of Europe is naturally exaggerating by a wide margin, but the region as a whole might be hiding some very precious pearls.

Source: WikipediaRemember the post about technology today? In that same hotel, we are now accustomed to simply reset the wireless each time we pass by it, and yesterday an interesting point arose from that.

If there’s anything Microsoft should patent in this world is the concept of reboot. It just works, it applies to any contemporary technological gadget, and in was in fact popularized by them.
