Collision on the slopes: 16-year-old injured in skiing accident!

A shocking incident occurred at Nassfeld on January 1, 2025: two female skiers collided on a steep slope in the popular ski area. The 16-year-old Slovenian was injured and had to be flown to the Villach regional hospital in a rescue helicopter after receiving first aid from the piste rescue team, while the 23-year-old Italian fortunately remained uninjured meinkreis.at reported. The exact cause of the collision is still unclear. The incident suggests that safety measures at the ski resort may need to be reviewed to prevent future accidents.

Networking for economic success

While the focus was on the slopes at Nassfeld, 25 entrepreneurs from Carinthia spent a day in Ljubljana to exploit new market opportunities. In a climate of cooperation and exchange, they met Slovenian business partners in order to strengthen the long-term nature of their joint trading relationships. Slovenia is now considered a strategic entry point for companies in Southeast Europe, and the numbers speak for themselves: in 2022, the Austrian economy exported goods worth almost five billion euros to Slovenia, which corresponds to a market share of 8.5% of Slovenia's total goods imports, as in wirtschaftzeit.at was mentioned.

The entrepreneurs, led by Astrid Legner, WK Vice President, emphasize the importance of strong, cross-border networks. Slovenia's advanced infrastructure and demand for bilingual professionals offer promising business opportunities. The city of Ljubljana has also attracted attention for its sustainable initiatives and being recognized as a “Green City”, making the country even more attractive for female entrepreneurs. Astrid Legner highlights the historical connection and future cooperation prospects, thereby showing the potential of economic networking between Carinthia and Slovenia.
