At this year’s AmChams in Europe Best Practice Conference 2025, the AmCham YOUng platform was selected as the winner among all presented projects, earning the prestigious AmChams in Europe Creative Network Award.

The conference aims to share best practices and ideas, and to discuss challenges in order to ensure the highest operational standards among all AmCham organizations. As part of the event, the announcement of the AmChams in Europe Creative Network Award also took place today. The purpose of this award is to encourage the entire AmCham network to develop and implement innovative programs and initiatives that can be adapted and applied by other organizations as well.

This recognition celebrates not only the creativity and impact of our YOUng platform but also the incredible spirit of collaboration within the AmChams in Europe community, where best practices, ideas, and inspiration are shared to raise the bar for all.

AmCham Slovenia has already received this award twice before — in 2016 for the innovative Partnership for Change platform, a program fostering collaboration between employees in Slovenia’s public and private sectors to exchange good ideas, practices, and practical solutions; and again in 2022 for the initiative “I am a Teacher!”.

The AmCham YOUng Platform represents a forward-looking way of thinking. Its programs guide the personal and career development of up-and-coming business leaders. Ranging from student internships through the AmCham Young ProfessionalsTM program to the AmCham Young Leaders Club, First Mentor program and the Snowball (a think tank of outstanding young people), the YOUng platform connects young and active individuals who stand out from the crowd.
