Competitiveness of Slovakia and the European Union - pre-election discussion

Slovak-Austrian Chamber of Commerce  in cooperation with American Chamber of Commerce in the Slovak Republic  and others partners are pleased to invite you to take a part at event about  

Competitiveness of Slovakia and the European Union -  pre-election discussion

In the upcoming EP pre-election debate, we will be asking the electoral leaders of parliamentary political parties in Slovakia about their view on Europe's attractiveness - for investment and for the people who make and benefit from those investments - as we all depend on fair and resilient institutions and societies. 

The invited representatives of political parties will present their vision on critically important topics for the future of Slovakia and the EU, including Rule of Law, Global Fight for Talent, and Innovations. While regulation can encourage fairness and innovation in Europe, it can also create unnecessary administrative burden and hinder the private sector's capacity to grow. For the EU to remain competitive on the global stage, it must create frameworks that incentivize investments in research and development, including scaling of new technologies. Both legislative development and funding mechanisms have a role to play.
