Do you buy? 💾 If you invested €25k into a memory stock like SanDisk a year ago… you would be sitting on €1M+ today. Why didn't you predict this? Are you already too late to invest? ⚡ Bloom Energy, Applied Digital, IREN… is the real AI trade actually power infrastructure? 🌍 What industries are about to explode over the next 5 years? ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ This is NOT a lecture. This is an open-floor networking + mastermind session where ambitious people exchange ideas, predictions, perspectives, opportunities, strategies, and theories over drinks. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 WHAT TO EXPECT 🍻 relaxed networking atmosphere 🤝 ambitious international crowd 🧠 future-focused conversations 🚀 startup & investing discussions 💻 founders + freelancers + creators 📈 business & wealth discussions 🌍 internationals, entrepreneurs & curious people Whether you: • invest • build startups • follow AI • create content • run a business • love technology • or just enjoy discussing the future… you’ll fit right in. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 📍 DETAILS 📅 Thursday, 28 May 🕖 From 19:00 onwards 📍 Pub LOO-BLAH-NAH Center, Ljubljana ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👥 WHO SHOULD COME 📈 Investors 🚀 Startup founders 💼 Business owners 💻 Freelancers 🎥 Creators 🌍 Digital nomads 🧠 Curious ambitious people ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🌍 BUSINESS NETWORKING GROUP Join the WhatsApp group to network with other entrepreneurs, founders, freelancers, creators, and ambitious people in Ljubljana: 👉 https://chat.whatsapp.com/JosnrqMBjQlLO9ogsWJUnt ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 FINAL NOTE Good investing conversations are rare.
