ABOUT THE EVENT
The workshop and the following round table will be looking for concrete solutions to questions about the future of investment in the field of information technology (IT). Are classic start-ups in decline; what is the role – if any- of business angels? Are cryptocurrencies an ultimate solution with public fundraising and the initial coin offerings (ICOs). The view from Slovenian and international representatives of the ICO’s, regulatory institutions and the Ministry for Economic Development and Technology? Should the state step in and “stimulate” strengthen the “crypto economy”, should it be cautious and set a clear legal framework and limit the growing business? What about self-regulation? Who protects investors when the “quick earning” option turns into a “nightmare”?
