In his address Mr Pahor emphasised that "the new Technology and Research Centre will consolidate the role of JUB as one of the leading companies in this sector, both in Slovenia and in the entire area of South Eastern Europe." It is quite important that in promoting further development of our country, we follow the example of those who knew how to take advantage of opportunities of the current crisis to launch a new development cycle. New technologies and development are prerequisite for corporate growth and increased activities, a business philosophy, of which JUB is a true follower. "Being fully aware of the significance of investment in knowledge, the Government will make further efforts to create the necessary conditions for those who are at the forefront of advancing Slovenia's development," concluded Prime Minister Pahor.
