Conférence / séminaire

Friday 27 Sep 2019

The Chamber of Commerce of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in cooperation with the Embassy of the Slovak Republic to Belgium and Luxembourg, the Slovak Investment and Trade Development Agency and the Slovak Chamber of Commerce and Industry, will organise a seminar at the Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Kirchberg on business opportunities in Slovakia on the 27th of September 2019.

Slovakia, a country successful in attracting foreign direct investments, located in the heart of Europe, member of the Eurozone, leader in automation and technology transfer in Central and Eastern Europe, can provide great opportunities for your business. Just one key economic aspect, such as the highest GDP growth (4.1%) in 2018 in CEE, makes Slovakia one of the top investment destinations and business partners.

During the seminar, which is primarily focused on strengthening and deepening commercial and economic ties between Slovakia and Luxembourg, you will have the chance to learn more about the Slovak business environment with a special emphasis on three sectors: ICT, Innovation, and Space Industry.

Your company is cordially invited to this event during which you will be able to discover the Slovak economic landscape and its business opportunities. Moreover, other key sectors of the Slovak economy will also be presented.

Interested companies are kindly requested to duly complete the linked registration form before September 25th, 2019. Participation is free of charge.
