Ferfl's "Herbal Lollipop"

The second FERFL Startup Weekend took place between 6 and 8 March, 2015 in Ljubljana. The event is socially responsible and this edition was focused on ideas from the areas of gathering, herbalism and cooperativism. The winning idea was "Zeliščna Lizika" (Herbal Lollipop).

The gathered future entrepreneurs formed entrepreneurship teams with common interests and spent the weekend in intense development of their business idea and networking. The winning team convinced the panel of experts with their idea of an "herbal lollipop" for children and youth as a substitute for pills and other medication, which is not easily taken by children.

The idea of a natural Easter egg dyes from herbs and vegetables was placed second, while the third place was divided among two teams in the number of points. One of them convinced the jury with an idea of walnut oil to enjoy carefree sunbathing, and the other introduced production of honey with added beetroot juice.

The Startup Weekend was organised in collaboration with the Employment Service of Slovenia (ESS), the Ljubljana Pharmacies, the City of Ljubljana and the Successful Entrepreneur (Uspešen Podjetnik) institute.
