The day the inauguration of ESERO Slovenia was commemorated, it is a celebration of more than just the establishment of an office. It is a celebration of a commitment to nurturing the curiosity of young minds, fostering a passion for science and technology, and propelling Slovenia towards the forefront of the space and high-tech sectors.
