The national press agency of Slovenia, the STA, is agile and nimble, with a full-time staff of about 100 and an interdisciplinary R&D team with an impressive track record of delivering pioneering technological solutions in the media industry. Their smaller size enables them to be more flexible and fast in testing and implementing new solutions in the media industry environment. As a press agency, the STA has an inherent understanding of information flow, contributing another perspective on the project’s objectives.
Naum Dretnik is the head of the R&D Unit, which develops and implements new solutions and products. As a team member he was involved in previous R&D projects, including the article tracker tool, highlighted by the EU Innovation Radar as a great EU-funded innovation. As part of TWON, he will contribute to drafting and providing feedback on field studies.
Sebastijan R. Maček is the editor of the STA English Service. In recent years he has increasingly gravitated towards the R&D department and has collaborated in the design, development, testing and company-wide implementation of several technological solutions.
