Every year, the Kapital financial fair not only offers an excellent
program with business opportunities but also awards those who have
achieved something extraordinary. The selection is entrusted to 40
business editors working for the Slovene media: they choose the best
financer, the best company and the best CEO. This year, the choice for
the best financier fell on Dr. France Arhar, Chairman of the Management
Board of UniCredit; Gorenje was chosen as the best company; and Riko CEO
Janez Škrabec was acknowledged to be the best CEO. The award winners
were proclaimed by Srečko Pirtovšek, editor-in-chief of the Kapital
magazine, who gave them the award: a symbolic glass euro.
This year’s Kapital Financial Fair took place under the auspices of the
Založba Kapital publishing house and was ceremoniously opened by the
Slovene Finance Minister Franc Križanič. The audience of the opening was
also addressed by Guillaume Prache, Secretary General of the
Euroshareholders.
