The American-Slovenian Club (ASC) was formally established in Washington D.C. on December 8, 2023. ASC is a non-profit club established to help Slovenian businesses in the USA better connect with the diaspora and foster stronger collaboration among American Slovenian experts, entrepreneurs, professionals, and individuals. It is the first private club of its kind in Washington D.C.

The inaugural meeting of the Club was hosted by the Embassy of Slovenia, which also played a pivotal role in launching ASC. The founders of the new club received a warm welcome from Ambassador Mirošič, who emphasised, "We are thrilled to host the formation of this club at the embassy in the context of economic diplomacy initiatives. Geopolitical relations also indicate changes in the economic realm, making it even more crucial to leverage its full potential for enhancing economic cooperation between Slovenia and the USA, both today and in the future."

Founding members of ASC are entrepreneurs and professionals living and/or working in the USA who see more opportunities for Slovenian business and the diaspora. They want to foster open collaboration, support, networking, and various initiatives. 

American-Slovenian Club is now in the phase of conducting a final program of work. The program will be finalised by March 1st, 2024.
