Our aim is to support companies in developing new technologies and developing a more sustainable future-oriented business," confirmed the State Secretary.

State Secretary Ingrid Brocková: "I am pleased that, despite difficult conditions, we managed to travel here with Slovak entrepreneurs and enable them to present themselves to an international audience. To assist the internationalisation of Slovak enterprises is one of the main objectives of Slovak economic diplomacy."
