Slovakia<br />
Greetings<br />
Good Idea Slovakia!<br />
H. E. Mr. Peter Mišík<br />
Ambassador of the Republic of Slovakia to Austria<br />
T<br />
his year, for the first time as the Ambassador,<br />
it is an honor for me to congratulate<br />
iconvienna on the success of the Forum,<br />
which is a unique platform for business<br />
network providing excellent opportunities for<br />
investment and business in key sectors.<br />
Within this year’s headline “Innovation<br />
needs branding – Branding needs innovation”<br />
allow me to emphasize that building a successful<br />
brand is about quality, service, innovation<br />
and differentiation.<br />
Let me attract your attention by presenting<br />
Slovak Brands, for which Branding means Innovation.<br />
ESET, one of the world´s biggest IT security<br />
companies, has been developing its own technologies<br />
since 1987 and has evolved into a full<br />
IT security solutions provider, whose products,<br />
from consumer antivirus software to corporate<br />
endpoint and data security solution, are used in<br />
180 countries.<br />
Sygic, popular navigation system. Today its<br />
GPS software, available in more than 30 languages,<br />
is on sale in 80 countries.<br />
AeroMobil, Slovak company, which has<br />
introduced its flying car prototype AeroMobil<br />
3.0. in October 2014 at the Pioneers Festival in<br />
Vienna. Today is AeroMobil just a step away<br />
from production, making this vehicle a real<br />
groundbreaker in the field.<br />
Slovak companies have entered the path of<br />
innovation by developing globally competitive<br />
products and services in various segments closely<br />
linked with the automotive industry, such<br />
as software development, mechanical and electrical<br />
engineering, industrial automation or<br />
material research.<br />
Global companies, many of them from Austria,<br />
are already reaping the rewards of their<br />
decision to invest in our country. Except strategic<br />
location Slovakia offers advantages to<br />
foreign investors, the Common European currency,<br />
steadily growing infrastructure and one<br />
of the highest GDP growths in the EU.<br />
Slovak Investment and Trade Development<br />
Agency works on implementation of its strategy<br />
under the recently adopted national branding of<br />
the SR “Good Idea Slovakia” in order to attract<br />
foreign direct investment with high added<br />
value potential while offering foreign investors<br />
wide range of free customized services.<br />
