During a two-day visit of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany Joachim Gauck to the Republic of Slovenia, Slovenian President Borut Pahor hosted a gala dinner in his honour. President Pahor invited guests from the fields of business, diplomacy and culture that have ties with Germany. Igor Simčič, founder of the Esimit Europa project, who is connecting diplomacy, business and sports in a unique way since 1995, was also invited to this event.

Igor Simčič presented this unique project that is represented by one of the world’s fastest and most technologically advanced sailing yachts to German President Joachim Gauck. Esimit Europa 2 sails under the European flag and unites top sailors from eleven different countries on board. With 35 consecutive wins it carries an important message of collaboration, mutual trust and responsibility around the globe. The multinational team is led by the German sailing legend Jochen Schümann and the significance of this project has been acknowledged also by the leaders of German business, with BMW and Adidas as the project’s partners.

This meeting was another important recognition of the Esimit Europa project and its aim to strengthen friendly relations among countries, which is also one of the purposes of the visit of the German president.
