As a General Partner, Andersen participated in the Bloomberg Adria Business Forum 2025, where experts in economy, finance, politics, energy, and technology addressed key business challenges and opportunities.

Globalization and Regulation

Mark L. Vorsatz, Global Chairman and CEO of Andersen, emphasized that globalization is driven by economic interests rather than politics. He discussed the impact of private equity, EU regulations, and AI adoption, noting that while U.S. businesses focus on applying AI, European businesses focus on regulating it.

Business and ESG in Central and Eastern Europe

Panelists explored investment, digital transformation, and EU funding as drivers of economic growth. They highlighted that economic success depends on strong companies and continuous investment. Discussions on ESG reinforced that sustainability compliance is not just a regulatory obligation but a strategic advantage.

Tax Reform and Digital Transformation

Slovenian Minister of Finance Klemen Boštjančič outlined upcoming tax reforms affecting corporate and personal taxation. Additional panels addressed global tax regulations and Slovenia’s transition to mandatory e-invoicing, emphasizing the importance of education, workshops, and technical support for successful implementation.

Innovation and Market Leadership

A final discussion examined digitalization as a long-term strategy, emphasizing the role of startups, smart funding, and emerging technologies in shaping business success.

The Forum highlighted globalization, sustainability, tax reform, and digitalization as key business priorities. We are pleased to have contributed to these discussions and thank the organizers, speakers, and attendees for a successful event.
