Ptuj in the north-east has made the biggest impression among city municipalities. It boasted the best statistical indicators and a number of examples of good practice.

The conference also rewarded the security efforts of companies. National grid operator ELES was named the best performer overall, and the award for the most innovative solution went to telecoms incumbent Telekom Slovenije for developing a cybersecurity centre.
