“Business Hive has overall been an incredible experience. It doesn’t happen very often that you get a chance to actively work on a real-life project with the members of your team. It’s a great opportunity to try your cooperation skills, “out of the box” thinking capabilities and your focus. You get a nice view on how good or poor cooperation and communication reflects in the final result and you get a chance to peak out of your comfort zone by presenting your project solutions at the end. Another good side of Business Hive is that you might make your first contact with your potential employers which can sometimes be hard for some students. But most important part... It’s fun! Guaranteed...”

Business Hive offered all the participant a great insight into the real-life challenges of well know companies. Not only we were able to apply our theoretical knowledge to find possible and realistic solutions, we also had an opportunity to work in a group with diverse people and gain more teamwork skills! We all know how important are these days solid teamwork skills! Not to mention we had a lot of fun! Busines Hive is really done professionally my compliments goes also to the Management Group. Was my pleasure to be part of this educational event!

For me, Business Hive was one of the best experiences throughout my study time. I really enjoyed solving problems with my friends in such a short time and then actually presenting the solutions in front of company representatives. I have also met a lot of new friends, with whom I am still in touch. As a whole, I think that Business Hive is an awesome experience for all the students, who want to see, how good they can be in solving real life problems and meeting new colleagues , while having a really fun time with other activities which are provided from the excellent Business Hive team.

I met with the Business Hive heckathlon in my first year of college and it seemed like a really good challenge to make the year more challenging. At Business Hive, I was really surprised by the organization and how the Management Group was able to prove that they could organize a really top event. We did not lack food, we had more support, only we had a little sleep. Otherwise, we didn't win, but when it comes to a little sleep, we need to take the chance to succeed. Bravo !! 100% I'll also come next year.

Business Hive is much more than just a competition where you compete for cash prizes. I think we need to look more broadly so that we can see the full picture that the BH event brings to all participants. With the right approaches, this can be a huge investment for each individual, since attending the event opens up potential employment opportunities for participating companies, expands the network of acquaintances, and encourages a self-initiative, successful teamwork and innovative approach. In addition, it enhances your communication and presentation skills in both Slovenian and English. Well, catering is the last thing you should worry about this weekend. The organization caters to all participants nicely, and I don't think there has been a case of running out of food or drink. Each participant also receives a bag of symbolic gifts upon check-in. Absolutely, this is a great value-added weekend and I don't think you'll be sorry if you attend. However, if you still have additional questions, you can contact a great team that organizes BH at any time and I believe that your questions or doubts will find all the answers.
