On 13 May 2026, we hosted participants of the PONI Goriška programme at Mlekarna Planika, which encourages the development of entrepreneurial ideas and provides young entrepreneurs with support in their first steps on their business journey.
On this occasion, we presented the story of Mlekarna Planika – from our beginnings and company development to key milestones, achievements, and goals we have reached over the years. We also shared our experience in developing new products and services, as well as the challenges we faced when introducing them to the market. Based on examples of good practice, we presented strategies that helped us successfully launch products, strengthen customer trust, and build a recognizable brand.
We also placed special emphasis on the importance of quality, tradition, and local origin. We presented two important quality schemes – “Selected Quality – Slovenia”, which certifies domestic origin and high standards of production and processing, and the Protected Designation of Origin, which highlights the strong connection between the product, its geographical area, and traditional production methods.
We particularly highlighted our Tolminc cheese, a proud bearer of the Protected Designation of Origin, which, with its exceptional quality, rich tradition, and distinctive flavour, represents an important part of our cultural and culinary heritage.
We concluded the meeting in a pleasant atmosphere by exchanging business ideas, experiences, and perspectives on entrepreneurship. We are pleased that we were able to share our story and inspire new generations of entrepreneurs.
We wish all participants of the PONI Goriška programme much success, courage, creativity, and the right decisions on their entrepreneurial journey.
