Business Mission to Dubai at Intersec 2026

The Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO) organised a business mission to Dubai from 11–15 January 2026 within the framework of the National Project “Support for the Internationalisation of SMEs 2”, held in conjunction with Intersec 2026.

The mission was attended by 10 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs): ARIVA GROUP, BatteryCheck, BBI Int., greshio, Instea, IstroSec, MEDIC LABOR, Moxymind, MP Elektronik, spol. s r. o., and Ringsford.

The core of the programme was participation in Intersec, an international exhibition specialising in security and safety, fire protection, cybersecurity, and related innovative trends that contribute to building a more modern and safer world.

In addition, SARIO arranged a complementary programme for the business delegation in the form of a seminar titled “Expanding to the UAE: A Practical Guide for Businesses.” The primary objective of the seminar was to familiarise participants with the specifics of doing business in the United Arab Emirates, particularly its unique regulatory and tax environment. Companies thus gained valuable, practical guidance on entering and operating in this market.

The afternoon programme continued with a networking event organised in cooperation with the Slovak Business Council. Beyond connecting Slovak companies with international partners, SARIO also considers it particularly important to foster cooperation among Slovak companies that are already successfully active in the region.

During the mission, companies held more than 135 B2B meetings. The business mission provided Slovak SMEs with a unique opportunity to present their companies in an international environment, thereby supporting their efforts toward international growth and expansion.
