Location Bratislava On April 16 - 18, 2013 the Dutch city of Eindhoven hosted the second annual “Nation Branding & Investment Expo 2013“. The Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency (SARIO) took the opportunity to present the advantages of Slovak investment environment and trade opportunities with Slovak companies. The Slovak display proved to be quite popular among visitors and fellow exhibitors as well. SARIO established new contacts with several potential investors and also with foreign companies willing to develop business relations with their Slovak counterparts. Our team held valuable discussions with more than 20 national promotion agencies present at the exhibition (e.g. USA, Argentina, Thailand, Vietnam, South Africa); gaining also information regarding public-private partnership possibilities. On April 16, 2013 SARIO held a separate Slovak investment seminar in the framework of „Business Friendly Slovakia“ project, which aims to promote the benefits of the Slovak business environment. The presentation covered the main sectors of Slovak economy, the macroeconomic environment, opportunities of investment and trade cooperation with Slovak companies. It was attended by participants from the ranks of entrepreneurs, representatives of chambers of commerce and other institutions.
